The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently in fair condition as of the last assessment in May 2020.
Despite being privately owned, Robert Coyier is regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, which oversees its permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, indicating a level of risk that requires attention but is not immediately threatening.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Robert Coyier presents an interesting case study of a privately owned dam in rural Wisconsin. Its location along the TR Pecatonica River and its primary purposes of fire protection and stock or small fish pond highlight the diverse roles that dams play in water management. With its fair condition and moderate risk assessment, it serves as a reminder of the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety and reliability of such structures in the face of changing climate conditions.
