Despite its recreational purpose, Reservation Dam has a high hazard potential and is classified as having a very high risk level. While the condition assessment is not available, the emergency action plan was last revised in 2011. The dam is inspected every 5 years to ensure its safety and stability. The risk management measures for Reservation Dam are not specified, but given its high hazard potential, it is crucial for authorities to monitor and maintain the dam to prevent any potential disasters.
Located in a beautiful natural setting, Reservation Dam provides not only recreational opportunities but also serves as an important water resource for the region. With its controlled spillway and strong federal oversight, the dam plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in the area. Climate and water resource enthusiasts would find Reservation Dam to be a fascinating subject of study, given its historical significance, structural design, and risk profile.
