Summary
Completed in 1940, this recreational structure stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 1100 acre-feet. With a surface area of 33 acres, the dam serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities such as fishing and boating. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk level, indicating the need for close monitoring and risk management measures.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 107023 is regularly inspected and meets state regulatory standards for operation, inspection, and enforcement. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water management. While the dam is not rated for condition assessment, its emergency action plan status is unknown, highlighting the need for further preparedness and risk assessment. The surrounding area is represented by Congressman Markwayne Mullin and falls under the jurisdiction of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Oknoname 107023 to be an intriguing site for recreational and environmental purposes. Its location along the TR-North Canadian River offers a unique opportunity to study water management strategies in a rural setting. Despite its age, the dam continues to provide valuable storage capacity and recreational opportunities for the local community. With a focus on risk management and emergency preparedness, Oknoname 107023 serves as an important reminder of the need to prioritize safety and sustainability in water resource management projects.

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.
