Oknoname 063007 dam
Oknoname 063007
Oknoname 063007 is a privately owned earth dam located in Atoka, Oklahoma, along TR-SANDY CREEK. Built in 1965, this dam stands at a height of 19 feet and spans 490 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet and a surface area of 4 acres. While it serves a primary purpose of 'Other', the dam is regulated and inspected by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring its compliance with safety standards.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 063007 is considered to have a very high risk, with a risk assessment rating of 1. The dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in August 2011, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years. While the condition assessment is currently listed as 'Not Rated', the dam is subject to enforcement, permitting, and inspection by state regulatory agencies to maintain the safety of the structure.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Oknoname 063007 to be an intriguing case study in dam management and risk assessment. With its unique design features, regulatory oversight, and risk profile, this dam presents a complex and dynamic system that highlights the importance of proactive monitoring and maintenance in ensuring the safety and integrity of water infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.

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 063007
Where does the data for Oknoname 063007 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.
