The last inspection was conducted in 2005, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years to ensure its safety and stability for both water management and climate resilience in the region.
With its location on the TR-Walnut Creek and under the jurisdiction of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Oknoname 087036 plays a vital role in flood control and water supply for the surrounding area. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and management of dams like Oknoname 087036 are crucial for sustainable water use and adaptation to changing climate conditions in Oklahoma.
