The dam stands 30 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 53 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 851 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 450 square miles. Completed in 1962, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
This dam carries a high hazard potential classification, which means that a failure or uncontrolled release of water would likely cause loss of human life. This classification reflects the consequences of failure, not the likelihood — it indicates that people live or work in the area downstream.
