Oknoname 111051 dam
Oknoname 111051
Oknoname 111051, located in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, is a private dam with a primary purpose of recreation on the TR-Salt Creek. Built in 1940, this earth dam stands at a height of 45 feet and has a storage capacity of 470 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is controlled, with a width of 1 foot, and it is equipped with a single valve outlet gate for water release. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to be at very high risk, warranting careful monitoring and potential risk management measures.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 111051 is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement. The dam's condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Rated," with the last inspection conducted in August 2011. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, its risk assessment remains a top priority due to its significant risk level. With its picturesque location offering recreational opportunities, the dam serves as a crucial water resource in the area, emphasizing the importance of maintaining its integrity and safety for both environmental and community well-being.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Oknoname 111051 to be an intriguing case study in dam management and risk assessment. Situated in a scenic spot in WELEETKA, Oklahoma, this private dam on the TR-Salt Creek provides not only recreational value but also serves as a vital component of the local water infrastructure. With a focus on safety and risk management, the dam's risk level is closely monitored, highlighting the challenges and responsibilities that come with managing water resources in a changing climate. As efforts continue to ensure the dam's stability and security, its role in water conservation and management remains essential for the surrounding community and ecosystem.
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 111051
Where does the data for Oknoname 111051 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.
