The dam is classified as an Earth dam and serves the primary purpose of water storage, with a maximum capacity of 4 acre-feet and a drainage area of 90 acres. Despite its relatively small surface area of 1 acre, the dam has a high hazard potential and is currently assessed to be in poor condition.
Managed by a private owner, the dam is regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's Dam Safety Program, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The most recent inspection in December 2020 revealed the dam's poor condition, prompting concerns about its ability to withstand potential risks and emergencies. While an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is not currently prepared, the dam's hazard potential underscores the importance of implementing risk management measures and ensuring compliance with safety guidelines to protect the surrounding community and environment.
