Summary
Built in 1960, this recreational dam stands at 26 feet in height and stretches 390 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regulated and inspected by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to ensure its safety and compliance with state laws.
The dam features an earth core with a stone foundation and a controlled spillway, designed for the primary purpose of recreation. With a maximum discharge of 4100 cubic feet per second, the dam also includes a valve outlet gate for water release. While the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," its risk assessment categorizes it as having a very high risk, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and management measures to prevent potential issues.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 037060 presents an intriguing case study in dam regulation and safety. Its location in the Tulsa District, Creek County, Oklahoma, offers a unique perspective on the intersection of recreational use and environmental stewardship. With a rich history dating back to its construction in 1960, this dam serves as a valuable asset for the community, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and risk assessment in ensuring the safety of vital water resources.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
