The dam has a low hazard potential and was last inspected in January 2015, with a satisfactory condition assessment. It has a normal storage capacity of 44 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 60.2 acre-feet. The dam is associated with the Deep River-Tr river system and is under the jurisdiction of the Wilmington District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
