Summary
is a privately owned dam located in Guthrie, Oklahoma, within Logan County. Built in 1965, this earth dam stands at 24 feet high and stretches 600 feet in length along the TR-Cimarron River. Despite being labeled as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk due to its location and the potential impact of a failure. The dam is inspected every 5 years, with the last inspection taking place in August 2011.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Haskell Askew J. serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other." With a storage capacity of 108 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water management in the surrounding area. While the dam has not been rated for its condition, it is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate to manage water levels effectively. The risk assessment for this structure highlights the need for robust risk management measures to ensure the safety and security of the surrounding communities.
Located in the Tulsa District and under state jurisdiction, Haskell Askew J. is a significant piece of infrastructure in the region. With a congressman representative of Frank D. Lucas (R) and a close proximity to the Cimarron River, this dam plays a vital role in water resource management. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and regulation of dams like Haskell Askew J. become increasingly crucial to protect both human populations and the environment from potential disasters.

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.
