Summary

Constructed in 1960, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a hydraulic height of 14 feet, serving the primary purpose of "Other". The dam is regulated and inspected by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state jurisdiction and permitting in place to ensure its safe operation and enforcement of regulations.

With a maximum storage capacity of 59 acre-feet and a normal storage of 46 acre-feet, Oknoname 065003 spans 200 feet in length and sits on the TR-North Fork Red River. Equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, the dam has a low hazard potential and is categorized as "Very High (1)" in terms of risk assessment. Despite being deemed in "Not Rated" condition, the dam undergoes inspections every five years to maintain its integrity and safety standards.

Managed by a private entity and situated within the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Oknoname 065003 serves as a crucial infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience in the region. Its strategic location, design, and operational capabilities make it a key component in flood control, irrigation, and water supply for the surrounding communities, highlighting the importance of responsible stewardship and maintenance of such critical assets in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
