Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T-57 is considered to have a moderate risk level (3) based on the available data. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its Emergency Action Plan status is unknown. While the dam has not undergone any modifications since its completion, regular inspections are required with a frequency of once per year to ensure its continued safety and functionality. As a crucial infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the area, ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts will be essential to mitigate any potential risks associated with the dam.
