With a hazard potential rated as high and a condition assessment deemed fair as of the last inspection in August 2015, Warren Pond Dam presents moderate risk (rating of 3). Despite being privately owned, the dam is regulated by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. It is essential to ensure that risk management measures are implemented and updated to maintain the dam's safety and integrity for both recreational purposes and the protection of downstream areas along Furnace Brook.
