The dam stands at a height of 12 feet and has a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet, with a surface area of 13.3 acres and a drainage area of 1.77 square miles. While the dam does not have a spillway, it does have one outlet gate.
Despite being classified as having a high risk potential, Ski Lakes Dam No 1 has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not been inspected since November 2009, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the state regulatory agency. With no enforcement measures in place, there are concerns about the safety and maintenance of the dam, especially given its age and the potential risks associated with its high hazard potential classification.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may be interested in monitoring the condition of Ski Lakes Dam No 1 and advocating for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and the integrity of the dam. Additionally, efforts can be made to update emergency action plans and conduct risk assessments to mitigate any potential hazards associated with the dam.
