Summary
This 22-foot tall structure serves multiple purposes with a primary function of "Other". The dam has a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet and a surface area of 3 acres, making it a vital resource for water management in the region.
Managed by OWRB and inspected every 5 years, Oknoname 059010 has a low hazard potential and is currently in "Not Rated" condition. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment indicates a very high risk level. With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, the dam is equipped to handle a maximum discharge of 1560 cubic feet per second, ensuring efficient water flow and flood control.
Although the dam has not been modified in recent years, its presence facilitates sustainable water resource management in Harper County, Oklahoma. With a strong regulatory framework in place and regular inspections, Oknoname 059010 stands as a crucial infrastructure for the community, reflecting the intersection of water resource conservation and climate resilience.

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.
