With a height of 14 feet and a length of 1100 feet, this dam holds a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet, providing a surface area of 9 acres for water recreation. The dam is regulated by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (DEGLE), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Despite its satisfactory condition assessment in 2008, Endicott Lake Dam poses a significant hazard potential due to its very high risk assessment rating. The controlled spillway with a width of 35 feet helps manage water discharge in case of overflow, but emergency action plans have not been prepared or updated recently. The dam's proximity to the tributary to River Rouge adds to its importance in managing water resources and climate impacts in the area. Overall, Endicott Lake Dam serves as a vital structure for recreation and water management in Oakland County, Michigan, under the watchful eye of state regulatory agencies.
