Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Upper Washita Creek Site-101 indicates a very high risk level. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, with the last inspection date recorded in 1980. Emergency action plans and inundation maps have not been prepared or updated, suggesting a need for further risk management measures to address the identified vulnerabilities. As a critical infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the region, it is essential for regulatory agencies and stakeholders to prioritize the safety and maintenance of this dam to mitigate potential risks and ensure its long-term functionality.
