Managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Pollmiller Park Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities. The dam, constructed using earth materials and soil foundations, features an uncontrolled spillway and a drainage area of 0.39 square miles. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plans are in place to ensure public safety and protect against potential hazards.
Situated in the Kansas City District, Pollmiller Park Dam poses no immediate threat but remains under moderate risk due to its age and maintenance status.
