The dam's drainage area is 0.57 square miles, with a maximum discharge capacity of 232 cubic feet per second, presenting a moderate risk level.
Despite its recreational purpose, the Maywood Subdivision - Woodland Lake Dam poses potential risks due to its high hazard potential and unsatisfactory condition. Continuous monitoring and maintenance efforts are crucial to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam, highlighting the importance of effective risk management measures in safeguarding water resources and climate resilience in the surrounding area.
