Summary
W., located in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, is a privately owned water resource managed by the USDA NRCS. This earth dam, completed in 1970, stands at a height of 50 feet and has a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet. With a spillway width of 1 foot and a controlled spillway type, this structure serves multiple purposes and is regulated by the OWRB.
Despite its low hazard potential, Keeler W. W. is considered to have a very high risk level, reflecting the importance of effective risk management measures. Although the dam's condition is currently not rated, it undergoes inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. With one valve outlet gate and a maximum discharge of 3410 cfs, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Keeler W. W. presents an intriguing case study in dam management and risk assessment. Its location on the TR-SAND CR stream, coupled with its stone core and soil foundation, highlights the complex interplay between infrastructure, natural resources, and regulatory oversight. As climate change impacts water availability and quality, understanding and effectively managing structures like Keeler W. W. will be crucial for sustainable water resource management in the future.

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.
