Summary
Completed in 1971, this 23-foot high structure boasts a storage capacity of 375 acre-feet and serves as a vital resource for water management in the region. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, this dam is subject to regular state inspections and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Lou Boling 2 features a controlled spillway, valve outlet gates, and a stone core foundation. Despite its age, this dam continues to play a crucial role in mitigating water scarcity and supporting agricultural activities in the area. With a surface area of 16 acres and a maximum discharge capacity of 1637 cubic feet per second, it is a key component of the local water infrastructure.
As a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts, Lou Boling 2 stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices. With its historical significance and ongoing operational relevance, this dam serves as a symbol of resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions. As stakeholders work together to maintain and enhance the dam's capabilities, it remains a cornerstone of water security in Bryan County and beyond.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
