The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot.
Despite being rated as low hazard potential, Bohl J.W. is considered to have a very high risk assessment due to its condition and lack of recent inspections.

While the emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified, the dam is subject to regular inspections every 5 years. Overall, Bohl J.W. presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the management and assessment of aging infrastructure in Oklahoma.
