Summary

This dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a hydraulic height of 10 feet, with a structural height of 12 feet. With a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 310 cubic feet per second, this dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a low hazard potential.

The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate consisting of a single valve. Despite its age, Oknoname 061002 has not been rated for its condition assessment and has not received any recent modifications or inspections since May 2011. The risk assessment for this dam is classified as very high, with a risk level of 1 out of 5, indicating the potential for significant consequences in the event of a failure.

While Oknoname 061002 is under state regulation and inspection by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, it lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated emergency contacts. The dam has not been assessed for its compliance with EAP guidelines or the preparation of inundation maps. Despite the high risk associated with this dam, there are no documented risk management measures in place. Overall, Oknoname 061002 presents a significant concern for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its aging infrastructure and potential for adverse impacts in the event of a failure.

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.
