Standing at a height of 22 feet and with a length of 630 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 860 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 78 acres. Although it has a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a high risk level (2) due to its age and condition assessment being not rated.
Managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), Pine Meadow Brook Dam has undergone state inspection, permitting, and enforcement. Despite lacking a spillway, the dam has a spillway width of 52 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 408 cubic feet per second. The dam's last inspection was conducted in October 2007, with emergency action plans and risk management measures yet to be fully implemented. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find this dam's history and operational status intriguing in the context of its recreational purpose and risk assessment.
