The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 97 feet and two uncontrolled outlet gates. In 1989, the dam underwent structural modifications to ensure its continued safety and functionality. While the hazard potential of the dam is not available, it has been assessed as having a moderate risk level according to the data available.
Despite being privately owned and not state regulated, Eagle Canyon Lake Dam is subject to regular inspections, with the last one conducted in July 2011. The dam's emergency action plan was last revised in April 2011, and it is important to note that the dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With its scenic location and recreational purpose, Eagle Canyon Lake Dam holds significance for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and safety of such infrastructure.
