Oknoname 089009 dam
Oknoname 089009
Oknoname 089009, located in McCurtain County, Oklahoma, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1930 with a primary purpose of recreation. Standing at a height of 16 feet and with a max storage capacity of 52 acre-feet, this dam on TR-YASHUA CR is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections and maintenance. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment for this dam is rated as very high, emphasizing the importance of effective risk management measures.
Owned and maintained by a private entity, Oknoname 089009 serves as a recreational spot for the local community in Broken Bow. The dam's structure consists of stone core and soil foundation, with a controlled spillway measuring 1 foot in width. While the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, it is equipped with a single valve outlet gate for water release. The risk assessment for this dam is marked as very high, necessitating strict adherence to safety protocols and emergency preparedness.
Although Oknoname 089009 has a relatively low hazard potential, its very high risk assessment underscores the need for proactive risk management strategies. With a history dating back to 1930, this earth dam continues to provide recreational opportunities while being subject to state regulations and inspections. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and address the potential risks associated with dams like Oknoname 089009 to ensure the safety and sustainability of our water infrastructure.
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 089009
Where does the data for Oknoname 089009 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.
