With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Corbin Wildlife Marsh Dam plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem. It is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, and while its condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam undergoes regular inspections every 10 years to ensure its structural integrity.
