This dam stands at a height of 27 feet with a hydraulic height of 25 feet and a structural height of 31 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 26.5 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 20.9 acre-feet. The dam also features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 10 feet and serves a drainage area of 340 square miles.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment level, Keytesville Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not been inspected since September 2005, and no emergency action plan (EAP) or inundation maps have been prepared for the site. However, with its primary purpose being grade stabilization and its location in a relatively low-risk area, the dam continues to support water resource management efforts in the region. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find the design and functionality of Keytesville Dam intriguing as it contributes to the overall hydrological landscape of the area.
