Despite its moderate hazard potential, the condition of Mill Pond Dam is currently not rated, and there is no available information on its last inspection date or emergency action plan preparedness. The dam's spillway is uncontrolled, and its risk assessment indicates a moderate level of risk. While the dam serves as a popular spot for recreational activities, its regulatory oversight and maintenance status may pose concerns for water resource and climate enthusiasts who are passionate about ensuring the safety and sustainability of such structures in the face of changing environmental conditions.
