The dam plays a crucial role in managing the water resources of the Driggs River Unit 2 Diversion Ditch, with a storage capacity of 1,148 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 130 cubic feet per second.
Despite its low hazard potential, the Seney C-2 Pool Dam is currently assessed to be in poor condition according to a 2018 inspection report. The risk assessment for the dam indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular maintenance and monitoring. The regulatory oversight of the dam falls under the jurisdiction of the Michigan DEGLE, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. With its critical role in supporting fish and wildlife habitats, the Seney C-2 Pool Dam serves as a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in conservation efforts in the region.
