Summary

Completed in 1965, this earth dam with a stone core serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a storage capacity of 320 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and has state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.

Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 063040 is rated as having a very high risk due to certain factors. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and one valve outlet gate. The last inspection was conducted in August 2011, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. The condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated", indicating a need for further evaluation.

Enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate change impacts in the region of Hughes, Oklahoma, may find Oknoname 063040 to be an intriguing case study. With its unique design features and risk assessment, this dam presents an opportunity for further research and analysis in the realm of infrastructure resilience and emergency preparedness.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
