The dam's risk assessment is classified as moderate, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and management to safeguard the surrounding community and environment.
In addition to its primary purpose of recreation, Callaway Dam contributes to the local ecosystem by providing water storage and flood control capabilities. Its strategic location and design, overseen by designer Jerry G Ince, highlight the importance of sustainable water resource management in addressing climate challenges and ensuring the long-term resilience of the region.
