The dam stands at a height of 25 feet and stretches 400 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 108.65 acre-feet with a normal storage level of 50.9 acres. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regulated by the Kentucky Division of Water, ensuring regular inspections and enforcement of safety measures.
Managed by Mattingly Engineers & Mike Mattingly, PE, Majestic Oaks Dam has not been rated for its current condition but falls within a moderate risk category. With a designated emergency action plan frequency of 5 years, the dam's risk assessment suggests a need for ongoing monitoring and potential management measures. Although the dam lacks certain safety features such as outlet gates and spillway width information, its role in flood risk reduction remains essential for the surrounding area's safety and protection against potential inundation.
