The dam is regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential, Greisinger has not been rated for its condition assessment, but it has a recommended inspection frequency of every 5 years. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures are currently not fully documented, and there is limited information available on the dam's risk assessment and inundation maps prepared.
