With a risk assessment indicating a high level of risk, there are no emergency action plans in place, and the dam is not under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The dam is a significant feature in the area, providing both recreational benefits and potential risks to the surrounding community. Climate and water resource enthusiasts would find Bone Hill Lake Dam an intriguing subject for further exploration and study.
