Despite its low hazard potential, Country Club Pond Dam is currently assessed to be in poor condition as of the last inspection in May 2017. With an inspection frequency of every 5 years, the dam's maintenance and structural integrity are closely monitored to ensure public safety. The dam lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and other risk management measures, highlighting the need for proactive measures to address potential safety concerns. As an important recreational structure, the dam's condition and maintenance are crucial for the surrounding community's enjoyment and safety.
With its picturesque setting and recreational purpose, Country Club Pond Dam serves as a valuable resource for water enthusiasts in the area. As efforts are made to address its current condition and safety protocols, stakeholders and authorities must collaborate to ensure the long-term sustainability and safety of this vital water resource. Through ongoing inspections and maintenance, the dam can continue to provide recreational opportunities while safeguarding the surrounding environment and communities from potential risks associated with dam failure.
