Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment score of 3 due to its location and potential impact on the surrounding area. It is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway and other controlled outlet gates for water management. The dam is not currently rated for condition assessment, but it is regularly inspected by the local government, the primary owner of the structure. Troublesome Creek Watershed Dam T- 56 plays a vital role in water resource management in the region and is a key component of the flood control infrastructure in the area.
