Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Godfrey Jack M is considered to have a very high risk level, with a risk assessment rating of 1. The dam has not been rated for its current condition, and the last inspection was conducted in October 2001. However, it is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Godfrey Jack M presents an intriguing case study in dam management and risk assessment. With its location in a high-risk area and the lack of recent condition assessments, it highlights the importance of regular inspection and maintenance of critical water infrastructure to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
