The risk assessment, DSAC assignment, and risk management measures are also missing, indicating potential gaps in emergency preparedness and response.
Overall, Willowbrook Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the complex interplay between private ownership, state regulation, and dam safety. As a significant hazard structure with a satisfactory condition assessment, the absence of key emergency preparedness measures raises questions about the potential risks and vulnerabilities associated with this dam. Further research and assessment are needed to ensure the safety and resilience of Willowbrook Lake Dam in the face of changing environmental conditions and increasing pressures on water resources.
