While the hazard potential of Conserv Cooling Pond is currently undetermined, the dam's condition has not been rated since its last inspection in August 2006. The regulatory oversight of the pond falls under the state jurisdiction of Florida, with permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place. The water source for the pond is Thirtymile Creek, although the Water Management District suggests it may be fed by the Alfalfa River.
