The dam, standing at a height of 28 feet with a length of 300 feet, has a storage capacity of 71 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres. It is primarily used for recreational purposes and is designed as an earth dam with a buttress core type.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is marked as poor, with the last inspection conducted in May 2017. It is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and undergoes regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, indicating a need for potential risk management measures to ensure the safety and stability of the structure for both recreational users and the surrounding environment.
