Although last inspected in 1977, Calumet Lake Dam has a low hazard potential and is currently deemed to be in "Not Rated" condition. Despite its age, the dam continues to provide a valuable recreational venue for visitors, with its surface area covering 10.87 acres and a maximum discharge capacity of 259 cubic feet per second. While there is no emergency action plan in place or inundation maps prepared, the dam's risk assessment and management measures remain unspecified, suggesting a need for further evaluation and planning to ensure the safety and integrity of this important water resource.
