The dam, with a height of 14 feet and a length of 600 feet, was designed by USDA NRCS and is primarily owned and regulated by a private entity. The dam's reservoir has a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 5 acres, providing essential water resources for the local community.
Despite lacking a spillway, Old Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and is considered to have a high risk potential. The dam's hazard potential is currently not available, and there is no Emergency Action Plan in place. With a lack of inspection frequency and updated emergency contacts, there are concerns over the safety and management of this water resource structure. As a popular spot for fishing and recreational activities, ensuring the proper maintenance and oversight of Old Lake Dam is crucial for both water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
