Despite being last inspected in 1980 and currently rated as "Not Rated" for condition assessment, SCS-Upper Red Rock Creek Site-46 has a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. The dam is located in Garfield County, Oklahoma, and is under the jurisdiction of OWRB. While the dam poses a low hazard, its risk management measures, emergency action plan, and inundation maps are not currently available, highlighting the need for updated monitoring and safety protocols to ensure the continued protection of the surrounding community and water resources. With its strategic location and design, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area and warrants ongoing attention from regulatory agencies and stakeholders in the water resource and climate resilience sectors.
