Summary
is a privately owned dam located in Union City, Oklahoma, on the TR-Canadian River. Built in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, primarily serving the purpose of recreation. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential, Wilson J.P. is considered to have a very high risk assessment rating of 1, highlighting the importance of effective risk management measures. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. However, the condition assessment of the dam is currently rated as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation and maintenance to uphold its structural integrity and safety standards.
Overall, Wilson J.P. presents a fascinating case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the intersection of dam infrastructure, regulatory oversight, and risk management in the context of recreational water storage. As a key feature in the Tulsa District of Oklahoma, this dam serves as a valuable asset for the local community while also posing challenges in terms of maintaining its safety and functionality in the face of potential hazards.

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.
