Oknoname 113069 dam
Oknoname 113069
Oknoname 113069 is a privately owned dam located in the Javine Oil Field in Osage, Oklahoma. This earth dam, constructed in 1950, stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 168 acre-feet. The dam serves as a control structure for TR-Battle Creek and has a spillway width of 1 foot. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is classified as having a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance.
Owned by a private entity, Oknoname 113069 falls under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. The dam is permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Although the dam's condition is currently unrated, its risk level and the potential consequences of failure highlight the need for proper risk management measures and emergency preparedness. With a history dating back to the mid-20th century, this dam plays a vital role in water resource management in the region.
As a key structure in the local water management system, Oknoname 113069 serves a primary purpose of "Other" and plays a crucial role in controlling the flow of TR-Battle Creek. With its controlled spillway and valve outlet gates, the dam is equipped to handle a maximum discharge of 775 cubic feet per second. While the dam is deemed to have a low hazard potential, its high risk level underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and evaluation to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and the resilience of the water supply system in the face of climate change impacts.

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 113069
Where does the data for Oknoname 113069 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.
