Operated under the jurisdiction of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), John Crane Dam undergoes regular state inspection, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite its moderate risk assessment score of 3, the dam has not been updated or modified in recent years. The surrounding Delaware County community benefits from the recreational opportunities offered by the dam, which is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
In the event of an emergency, the dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status is unknown, highlighting the importance of further preparedness measures. However, with its controlled spillway type and uncontrolled spillway width, John Crane Dam continues to provide a valuable source of water management and leisure activities for residents and visitors alike.
