The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate consisting of a single valve. Despite its age, Oknoname 061002 has not been rated for its condition assessment and has not received any recent modifications or inspections since May 2011. The risk assessment for this dam is classified as very high, with a risk level of 1 out of 5, indicating the potential for significant consequences in the event of a failure.
While Oknoname 061002 is under state regulation and inspection by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, it lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated emergency contacts. The dam has not been assessed for its compliance with EAP guidelines or the preparation of inundation maps. Despite the high risk associated with this dam, there are no documented risk management measures in place. Overall, Oknoname 061002 presents a significant concern for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its aging infrastructure and potential for adverse impacts in the event of a failure.
