Oknoname 013015 dam
Oknoname 013015
Oknoname 013015 is a privately owned dam located in Bryan County, Oklahoma, specifically in the city of NATL C. Constructed in 1976, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet with a hydraulic height of 18 feet. The primary purpose of this structure is classified as 'Other', with a normal storage capacity of 100 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 117 acre-feet. The dam stretches over 607 feet and has a controlled spillway type with a width of 1 foot.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Oknoname 013015 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for this dam is classified as very high, indicating the need for rigorous risk management measures. The last inspection of this structure took place in September 1999, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status and other risk management measures are not specified in the available data.
Overall, Oknoname 013015 serves as a significant water resource infrastructure in Oklahoma, specifically along the TR-BLUE RIVER. With its critical role in water storage and management, it is essential for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the regulatory oversight, risk assessment, and maintenance activities associated with this dam to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.
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 013015
Where does the data for Oknoname 013015 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.
