Summary
This dam, completed in 1965, stands at a height of 24 feet and has a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet. With a surface area of 5 acres, the dam serves multiple purposes and is primarily regulated by the OWRB. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment for Oknoname 031006 categorizes it as having a very high risk level, indicating the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance.
The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and outlet gates consisting of a single valve. Although the condition of the dam is currently not rated, it undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity. Additionally, the dam has a history of state jurisdiction and enforcement, highlighting the commitment to safety and compliance with regulatory standards. While Oknoname 031006 has not been modified in recent years, its risk management measures and emergency preparedness protocols are areas that may require further attention.
As a key component of the local water resource infrastructure, Oknoname 031006 plays a crucial role in water management and flood control efforts in Comanche County, Oklahoma. With a designated congressman and a connection to the Tulsa District of the USACE, this dam serves as a vital piece of the region's water resource system. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the condition and management of structures like Oknoname 031006 is essential for ensuring the safety and sustainability of our water supply in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
