Despite being a non-federally regulated structure, Crowders Creek Wwtp Dam 2 is considered to have a significant hazard potential. However, its condition assessment is currently not rated, with the last inspection conducted in January 2019. The emergency action plan (EAP) for the dam was last revised in October 2015, and details about its preparedness and adherence to guidelines are not specified in the available data. While risk assessment and management measures are not provided, the dam's location and characteristics make it an important asset to monitor for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
