The dam, standing at a height of 13 feet and stretching 785 feet in length, was designed as an earth dam with a buttress core type. It has a storage capacity of 104 acre-feet and a surface area of 10 acres, serving the community with a normal storage capacity of 36 acre-feet.
Managed by a private owner, the dam is not regulated by the state and has not been rated for its condition. Despite its high risk assessment rating, the dam does not have a spillway and is not equipped with outlet gates. With no associated structures and limited information on its inspection and emergency preparedness, Triangle T Lake No 1 Dam is a critical structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor and evaluate for potential risk mitigation measures.
