Managed by the DAM AND RESERVOIR SAFETY PROG, the dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state of Missouri. With a high hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of December 2007, the dam poses moderate risk with a rating of 3. In case of emergencies, the dam lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps.
Situated on the TR-OSAGE river, Burton Duenke #1 Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate adaptation in the region. Enthusiasts interested in the intersection of water resources and climate change will find this dam's design and operation relevant to their studies and research.
