Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 30080 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities. With a controlled spillway and low hazard potential, the dam poses minimal risk to the surrounding area. Despite being in operation for over two decades, the condition of the dam remains unrated as of the last inspection in 2010, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and assessment to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
With a very high risk assessment rating, Oknoname 30080 underscores the importance of proactive risk management measures to mitigate any potential hazards associated with the dam. Although not owned or funded by federal agencies, the dam plays a crucial role in water storage and management within the local ecosystem, emphasizing the need for continued collaboration between private owners and state regulators to uphold safety standards and protect water resources in the region.
