The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and has state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential and not rated for condition assessment, Oknoname 137073 is considered to have a very high risk level according to the data available. The dam features a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and stone core foundation. Although the last inspection was in 2011 with a frequency of every 5 years, the emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures remain unspecified.
The location of Oknoname 137073 in Stephens County, Oklahoma, under the Fort Worth District, highlights the importance of understanding and monitoring this dam's condition and risk level. With a very high risk assessment, stakeholders and climate enthusiasts must advocate for regular inspections, updated emergency action plans, and risk management strategies to ensure the safety and sustainability of this water resource infrastructure.
