The dam stands at 28 feet high with a length of 360 feet, providing a storage capacity of 32 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 5 acres. Despite its uncontrolled spillway and low hazard potential, Red Lake is classified as having a moderate risk level due to its condition assessment not being available.
Owned, funded, designed, constructed, regulated, and inspected by the US Army, Red Lake serves a crucial purpose in managing water resources in Pulaski County. With a drainage area of 1 square mile and a maximum discharge capacity not specified, the dam's presence ensures the safety and integrity of the surrounding community. Although its condition assessment remains unknown, Red Lake's risk management measures are yet to be detailed, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks and ensure long-term sustainability.
