Oknoname 121013 dam
Oknoname 121013
Situated in Pittsburg, Oklahoma, Oknoname 121013 is a privately owned Earth dam with a height of 22 feet, completed in 1930. This dam, on TR-BUCK CR river, serves a variety of purposes beyond traditional water storage, making it a unique and versatile structure in the region. With a maximum storage capacity of 87 acre-feet and a normal storage of 71 acre-feet, Oknoname 121013 has a low hazard potential but is rated as having a very high risk, emphasizing the importance of proper maintenance and management.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 121013 is inspected every 5 years, with the last assessment conducted in June 2011. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, ensuring controlled water discharge during heavy rainfall events. While the dam is not currently rated for its condition, its risk assessment highlights the need for proactive risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards. With its strategic location and critical role in water resource management, Oknoname 121013 stands as a key infrastructure asset in the region, serving both local and statewide interests.
Despite its age, Oknoname 121013 remains a vital component of the water infrastructure in Oklahoma, providing a reliable source of water storage and flood control. The dam's association with the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers underscores its importance in the broader context of national water resource management. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the maintenance and upkeep of structures like Oknoname 121013 will be crucial in ensuring sustainable water management practices for future generations.

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 121013
Where does the data for Oknoname 121013 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.
