With a maximum storage capacity of 75 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 57 acre-feet, the Indian Development Corp. Dam provides essential water resources for the surrounding area. Although it has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, the dam undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. While there are no associated structures or locks with the dam, its presence adds value to the community by offering a peaceful retreat and contributing to the overall environmental landscape of the region.
In the event of an emergency, it is important for the dam to have a prepared Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated contact information for emergency responders. While details about the EAP status and risk management measures are not provided in the data, the Indian Development Corp. Dam remains a significant landmark in the area, highlighting the intersection between water resource management, recreational opportunities, and climate resilience.
