Built in 1950 with a primary purpose classified as "Other," this dam stands at 16 feet tall and has a length of 540 feet. The dam has a maximum storage capacity of 55 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 20 acre-feet, with a surface area of 7 acres.
The dam is a crucial part of the local water resource infrastructure, serving as a tributary to Rock Creek and being under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB). Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is under very high risk assessment due to its age and lack of recent condition assessment. The dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in February 2001, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years.
Ensuring the safety and proper maintenance of Oknoname 027013 is vital to the community of Norman and the surrounding area. With the dam classified as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, there is a need for regular inspections and potential risk management measures to mitigate the high-risk factors associated with this aging infrastructure. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find a keen interest in monitoring the developments and maintenance efforts surrounding this dam to preserve its functionality and safety for the future.
