The dam's risk assessment categorizes it as moderate, with a risk level of 3. While there have been no modifications or emergency action plans reported for Bucklin, its location and purpose make it a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in Carbon County, Wyoming. With its stone core and soil foundation, Bucklin serves as a vital component of the local irrigation system, supporting agricultural activities in the area.
