With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment ranking, SCS-Carney Creek Site-1 is subject to regular state inspections and enforcement measures to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, and it has a designated emergency action plan for potential incidents. The site is located within the jurisdiction of the OWRB and is overseen by the state of Oklahoma for permitting, inspection, and enforcement activities. For enthusiasts of water resources and climate, SCS-Carney Creek Site-1 represents a significant infrastructure project aimed at mitigating flood risks in the region.
