Standing at a height of 65 feet and stretching 4,500 feet in length, the dam has a storage capacity of 4,330 acre-feet and serves as a critical resource for the surrounding area. The reservoir created by the dam covers an area of 120 acres and is fed by the Robins Swamp Brook, with a drainage area of 0.3 square miles.
Managed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), the Glendola Reservoir Dam undergoes regular inspections, with the last assessment conducted in March 2020. The dam has a high hazard potential but is currently in satisfactory condition, meeting regulatory guidelines for safety. In the event of an emergency, the dam is equipped with an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) last revised in December 2014. With its vital role in water supply and its strategic location in Monmouth County, the Glendola Reservoir Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
