The dam serves purposes other than flood control and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and functionality.
With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, Security Nat Bank & Trust is monitored for its condition and safety on a regular basis, with the last inspection taking place in February 2001. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, contributing to its risk management measures. While the structure has not been rated for its condition, the State of Oklahoma is actively involved in overseeing its operation and maintenance to mitigate any potential risks.
As an integral part of the water resource infrastructure in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, Security Nat Bank & Trust plays a critical role in managing water flow and storage along the TR-Little River. Its strategic location and design make it a key asset for the region, with the potential to impact water resource management and climate resilience efforts. As climate change continues to pose challenges to water security, structures like Security Nat Bank & Trust will be essential for adapting to changing environmental conditions and ensuring the safety and reliability of water resources for the community.
