The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet and no outlet gates. While the dam is currently in a state of disrepair, with no recent updates on emergency action plans or risk management measures, its historical significance and role in water resource management make it an important structure for climate and water resource enthusiasts to monitor. Stoney Run Dam serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for maintenance and monitoring of critical infrastructure to ensure public safety and environmental protection in the face of changing climate conditions.
