Despite its modest size, the Johnny Poynor Dam poses a high risk due to its condition assessment being not rated and lacking proper emergency preparedness measures. With no spillway and limited outlet gates, there are potential hazards associated with this structure. The dam is situated on Martins Creek and falls under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, highlighting the importance of monitoring and maintaining its integrity for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.
