Oknoname 067010 dam
Oknoname 067010
Oknoname 067010, a privately owned dam located in Jefferson County, Oklahoma, serves as a vital structure regulating the flow of TR Mud Creek. Constructed in 1953, this Earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and a length of 1034 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 66 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, the dam has a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating.
Managed and regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 067010 has undergone inspections and is equipped with emergency action plans, though its condition assessment currently remains unrated. The dam's purpose and design align with its operational efficiency, ensuring the safety and stability of the surrounding area. Despite its age, the dam continues to play a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the intricate details of Oknoname 067010's specifications, regulatory oversight, and risk assessment offer valuable insights into the complexities of dam infrastructure and the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring. With its strategic location at the HWY 89 Bridge Gage, this dam exemplifies the intersection of human intervention and natural processes, highlighting the ongoing need for sustainable water management practices to mitigate potential risks and ensure long-term environmental sustainability.
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 067010
Where does the data for Oknoname 067010 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.
