Summary
This state-regulated facility, owned by the state of Oklahoma, boasts an Earth-type dam with a hydraulic height of 8 feet and a structural height of 15 feet. Completed in 1937, the dam stands at 15 feet tall and spans 500 feet in length, providing a max storage capacity of 65 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment for Eastern Oklahoma Hospital indicates a very high risk level (1).
The dam's controlled spillway and valve outlet ensure efficient water management, while its condition remains unassessed. Although the last inspection took place in 2010, the dam's emergency action plan status is unknown. With a risk management plan yet to be implemented, the Eastern Oklahoma Hospital still faces potential dangers despite its low hazard potential. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying updated on the facility's condition and risk assessment is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of Oklahoma's water supply infrastructure.

Dam Data Reference
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.
