Summary
Built in 1950, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and has a length of 720 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 400 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose of 'Other,' with a spillway type of 'Controlled' and a maximum discharge of 650 cubic feet per second. Despite being classified as 'Undetermined' in terms of hazard potential, the risk assessment for Oknoname 107002 is deemed 'Very High (1),' emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the dam is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspections, and enforcement. It is equipped with a valve outlet gate and is situated within the jurisdiction of Okfuskee County. The risk management measures and emergency preparedness for the dam are currently not rated or documented, highlighting the need for further assessment and mitigation strategies. The location's risk potential underscores the significance of monitoring and ensuring the structural integrity of Oknoname 107002 to protect both the water resources and surrounding communities.
While Oknoname 107002 presents a notable risk due to its high hazard potential and limited assessment, it remains a crucial infrastructure for water storage and flood control along the TR-North Canadian River. As climate change continues to impact water resources and extreme weather events become more frequent, the importance of maintaining and upgrading dams like Oknoname 107002 becomes increasingly vital. Collaboration between state regulatory agencies, dam owners, and local communities is essential to enhance safety measures, emergency preparedness, and risk management for resilient water resource infrastructure in the face of a changing climate.

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.
