Oknoname 037038 dam
Oknoname 037038
Oknoname 037038 is a privately owned dam located in Creek, Oklahoma, specifically in the city of Slick. The dam was completed in 1960 and serves the primary purpose of "Other", with a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 20 acre-feet. It is classified as an Earth dam with a height of 35 feet and a length of 355 feet, situated on the TR-SKULL CREEK river or stream.
The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the dam carries a very high risk assessment due to its age and other factors. The last inspection of Oknoname 037038 was conducted in August 2011, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years. In terms of emergency preparedness, details such as the existence of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and the accuracy of inundation maps are not readily available.
Overall, Oknoname 037038 represents a crucial piece of infrastructure in the region, contributing to water resource management and climate resilience efforts. With its unique design characteristics and regulatory oversight, this dam serves as a key component in the broader network of water infrastructure in Oklahoma, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures for the safety and well-being of surrounding communities.

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 037038
Where does the data for Oknoname 037038 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.
