With a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, King serves as a low hazard potential structure with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.

Despite not being state regulated or permitted, King has not been inspected since November 2019 and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled and has a length of 550 feet, with a surface area of 7.4 acres and a drainage area of 0.1 square miles.
