Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the dam at SCS-Upper Black Bear Creek Site-66 poses a very high risk, indicating a need for vigilant monitoring and management. The condition assessment is currently not rated, with the last inspection date recorded in 1980. The dam is equipped with one valve outlet gate and is subject to inspection every 5 years by the State Regulatory Agency, OWRB. As a vital infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the area, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status require further evaluation to ensure the safety and resilience of the surrounding community in case of any unforeseen events.
