Summary
is a privately owned earth dam located in Oil City, Oklahoma, along the TR Little Beaver Creek. Completed in 1960, this dam stands at a height of 25 feet with a hydraulic height of 20 feet and a length of 560 feet. The primary purpose of Klein G.C. is categorized as "Other," with a normal storage capacity of 79 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 99 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, Klein G.C. is designated as having a very high risk level, indicating the importance of proper risk management measures.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Klein G.C. is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. The surrounding area has a surface area of 7 acres, providing valuable water resources for the local community. With its strategic location and design features, Klein G.C. serves as a crucial infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience in Stephens County, Oklahoma.
In terms of safety and emergency preparedness, Klein G.C. has not been rated for its condition assessment, but it has a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years. While the risk potential is considered very high, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plans are not explicitly outlined in the available data. Overall, Klein G.C. presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, highlighting the importance of infrastructure maintenance, risk assessment, and emergency response planning in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
