The dam, managed by the Nashville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, has not been rated for its condition assessment and does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. Despite these limitations, the dam's risk management measures, inundation maps, and emergency contacts are not well-documented. The structure has not been modified in recent years, suggesting a stable operational history. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate may find Stephen Mullenix Dam an intriguing case study in dam regulation and management practices.
