Todd dam
Todd
Todd, also known as Ramona Lake, is a local government-owned water supply dam located in Washington County, Oklahoma. Built in 1966, Todd serves as a vital resource for the surrounding area, with a maximum storage capacity of 120 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 80 acre-feet. The dam stands at 22 feet tall and stretches 770 feet in length, impounding the TR-CANEY RIVER to ensure a reliable water supply for the community of RAMONA.
Despite its low hazard potential, Todd is subject to state regulation and inspection by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release, with a maximum discharge capacity of 5000 cubic feet per second. Although its condition is not currently rated, Todd's risk assessment is categorized as "Very High (1)", underscoring the importance of ongoing risk management measures to ensure the safety and functionality of this essential water infrastructure.
With its earth core and stone foundation, Todd plays a crucial role in maintaining water supply stability for the region. As a key component of the local water infrastructure, it is essential for Todd to meet regulatory guidelines and undergo regular inspections to address any potential risks and safeguard its continued operation. Todd stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of evolving climate challenges.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.

About Todd
Where does the data for Todd come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
