The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently in a not rated condition as per the last inspection conducted in July 2015. While it is state regulated and permitted, with inspections and enforcement in place, its emergency action plan status and risk assessment suggest a moderate risk level (3).

With its location in the Vicksburg District and under the jurisdiction of the ANRC, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. Water resource and climate enthusiasts would find Ozan Creek SWCD Site 12 to be an essential piece of infrastructure in the battle against flooding and the preservation of the surrounding environment.
