The dam, situated on the TR-MYRTLE BRANCH stream, serves as a vital resource for the surrounding area, providing essential water storage for fire protection and recreational activities. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam's risk assessment indicates a high level of potential hazard, warranting careful monitoring and management measures. With no spillway and limited outlet gates, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its long-term safety and functionality.
