With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Kolls Dam has not been inspected since November 1960 and is currently listed as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. While it does not have any associated structures or outlet gates, it is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway. Despite its age, the dam continues to provide valuable water resources to the local community, emphasizing the importance of regular inspection and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality in the face of changing climate conditions.
