Summary
Completed in 1966, this structure serves primarily for irrigation purposes with a storage capacity of 59 acre-feet. With a hydraulic height of 15 feet and a structural height of 18 feet, Davis C stands at 900 feet in length and has a controlled spillway type with a width of 1 foot.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Davis C has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Despite its relatively low risk level, the dam has been classified as having a very high risk due to its location and potential impact on the surrounding area in case of failure. The last inspection was conducted in 2009, with an inspection frequency of 5 years.
In the event of an emergency, Davis C does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared or updated, raising concerns about the readiness of the structure to respond to unforeseen events. With its crucial role in irrigation and potential risk level, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure the safety and stability of Davis C for both water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.

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.
