With a hydraulic height of 20 feet and a structural height of 24 feet, the dam provides a storage capacity of 126 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 76 acre-feet. The dam spans 300 feet in length, covering a surface area of 10 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Teague Dam is inspected regularly to ensure its safety and integrity. The last inspection conducted in January 2018 deemed the dam to be in fair condition. While the dam does not fall under state regulation or permitting, it is subject to state inspections to guarantee compliance with safety standards. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk assessment remain unreported, raising questions about its preparedness for potential emergencies.
Overall, Teague Dam offers a recreational oasis in Wake County, serving as a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts. With its picturesque location and ample storage capacity, the dam provides a tranquil setting for visitors to enjoy various water activities. However, the lack of recent data on emergency preparedness highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of both the dam and the surrounding community.
