The dam stands at a height of 8 feet and spans a length of 3960 feet along the Amite River West Fork.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk level, Amite River Industries Pond has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam does not have a formal Emergency Action Plan in place, raising concerns about its readiness in the event of an emergency. It is currently not under the jurisdiction of any state regulatory agency and does not undergo regular inspections, indicating a potential need for increased oversight and monitoring to ensure the safety and stability of the structure for both water resource management and climate resilience purposes.
