Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 033003 is considered to have a very high risk level, rated at 1 on the risk assessment scale. The dam has not been inspected since September 2010, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years. While the condition of the dam is currently not rated, it is important to note that emergency action plans (EAP) and risk management measures are not documented for this structure, making it crucial for stakeholders to address potential safety concerns and ensure proper maintenance and oversight in the future.
With its unique design and location within the Fort Worth District, Oknoname 033003 serves as a notable example of a small-scale dam in Oklahoma. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to monitor and assess the safety and integrity of such structures to mitigate potential risks and protect surrounding communities and ecosystems from any unforeseen emergencies or incidents.
