Despite being in a low-hazard potential category, Oknoname 30204 is rated to have a very high risk due to its condition assessment not being rated. While it meets state regulations for permitting, inspection, and enforcement by the OWRB, the dam has not been inspected since August 2011. With no emergency action plan in place and limited risk management measures, there is a need for updated assessments and preparedness protocols to mitigate potential risks associated with this structure.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts should take note of Oknoname 30204 as a critical infrastructure for irrigation in the area. With its strategic location and importance for water management, it is essential to prioritize regular inspections, maintenance, and emergency preparedness to ensure the safety and reliability of this dam for both agricultural and environmental purposes.
