Summary
This earth dam stands at 35 feet high with a length of 1300 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 892 acre-feet and normal storage of 260 acre-feet over a surface area of 40 acres.
Managed by the OWRB and classified as low hazard potential with a very high risk assessment, this dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Despite the last inspection date being in 1980, this dam is reported to have had no condition assessment rating and no emergency action plan in place. With a maximum discharge capacity of 3150 cubic feet per second, this dam serves an essential role in managing flood risks in the area.
Located in Meridian, Oklahoma, this dam is a critical piece of infrastructure overseen by the state regulatory agency and designed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. While it has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain safety measures, such as a current condition assessment or emergency action plan, its presence remains vital for flood risk reduction in the region. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate management would find the data on this dam's specifications and risk assessment intriguing for further study and analysis.

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.
