Although the dam has been inspected and permitted by the state of Texas, there are no enforcement measures in place. The risk assessment for Carroll Dam No 1 indicates potential hazards, highlighting the need for further evaluation and management measures to ensure the safety and sustainability of the water resource infrastructure.
