Montie Stewart dam
Montie Stewart
Montie Stewart is a privately owned water supply structure located in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, along an unnamed tributary to Otter Creek. Designed by Converse Surveying and Engineering Inc., this dam stands at a height of 30 feet with a hydraulic height of 23 feet. With a storage capacity of 275 acre-feet and a surface area of 15.1 acres, Montie Stewart serves the primary purpose of water supply for the area.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the condition of Montie Stewart has not been rated. It is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes regular inspections every 5 years. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 6 feet and a maximum discharge of 88 cubic feet per second. Although it has not been modified in recent years, Montie Stewart remains a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in the region.
With its stone core and soil foundation, Montie Stewart plays a vital role in water supply management in Kingfisher, Oklahoma. While it has not been assessed for condition, the dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its continued safe operation. As a key structure along the tributary to Otter Creek, Montie Stewart serves as a valuable resource for the community, highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.

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 Montie Stewart
Where does the data for Montie Stewart 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.
