Ymca Camp Classen No.1 dam
Ymca Camp Classen No.1
Ymca Camp Classen No.1 is a privately owned recreational facility located in Dougherty, Oklahoma, adjacent to Lick Creek. This earthen dam structure, completed in 1940, stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 270 acre-feet. With a spillway width of 1 foot and a maximum discharge capacity of 8700 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite its age, Ymca Camp Classen No.1 is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as per the last inspection conducted in January 2020. However, the dam is classified as having a significant hazard potential, emphasizing the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance. The risk assessment for this dam indicates a very high risk level, highlighting the need for effective risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding area and the camp facilities.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is vital to recognize the role of structures like Ymca Camp Classen No.1 in providing recreational opportunities while also managing water flow and storage. Understanding the potential risks associated with such dams and promoting proactive measures for their maintenance and safety are essential for sustainable water resource management in the region.

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 Ymca Camp Classen No.1
Where does the data for Ymca Camp Classen No.1 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 Significant 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.
