The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, with a DSAC assigned date and no inundation maps prepared. The dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of any federal agency and is privately owned. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam still poses a moderate risk, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure for both recreational and environmental purposes.
