Oknoname 137012 dam
Oknoname 137012
Oknoname 137012 is a privately owned dam located in Oil City, Oklahoma, specifically in Stephens County. This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a hydraulic height of 23 feet, with a length of 430 feet. Completed in 1975, the dam serves a primary purpose classified as 'Other', with a normal storage capacity of 38 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 89 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular state inspection, enforcement, and permitting processes.
The dam's low hazard potential is complemented by a very high risk assessment rating of 1, indicating the importance of effective risk management measures. Despite its relatively low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment highlights the need for proactive risk mitigation strategies. The dam features a controlled spillway type with a single valve, and has not been significantly modified since its completion in the 1970s. With a history of state jurisdiction and regulatory oversight, Oknoname 137012 represents a vital component of water resource management in the region, especially considering its location on TR Stage Stand Creek.
Overall, Oknoname 137012 plays a crucial role in water resource management in Stephens County, Oklahoma. As a privately owned structure with state-regulated operations, the dam's presence on TR Stage Stand Creek contributes to the region's water storage capacity and flood control measures. With a focus on risk assessment and management, the dam underscores the importance of maintaining infrastructure resilience in the face of evolving climate conditions and water resource challenges.

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 137012
Where does the data for Oknoname 137012 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.
