Oknoname 023001 dam
Oknoname 023001
Oknoname 023001 is a private dam located in Choctaw, Oklahoma, specifically in Trinity Church. Built in 1960, this earth dam stands at 22 feet high and stretches 600 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 181 acre-feet. It serves as a crucial structure for water resource management, particularly for the TR-Hugo Lake river or stream. The dam is regulated and inspected by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring its compliance with state jurisdiction and permitting requirements.
Despite being categorized as low hazard potential, Oknoname 023001 is deemed to have a very high risk assessment level, indicating the need for stringent risk management measures. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, it undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity. With a controlled spillway and one valve for outlet gates, the dam is equipped to handle a maximum discharge of 1240 cubic feet per second. Although no emergency action plan is reported, the dam's risk profile suggests the importance of having one in place to address any potential threats effectively.
In the realm of water resource and climate management, Oknoname 023001 stands as a vital infrastructure within Oklahoma's landscape. With its unique design features and historical significance, this dam serves not only as a water storage facility but also as a regulatory and enforcement focal point for state agencies. As enthusiasts in these fields continue to monitor and assess the dam's condition and risk profile, it underscores the importance of proactive measures to safeguard water resources and mitigate potential climate-related challenges.
Dam data reference
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 Oknoname 023001
Where does the data for Oknoname 023001 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.
