Summary

Standing at a height of 20 feet and a length of 320 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 160 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 1400 cubic feet per second. With a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate, the dam poses a low hazard potential and is currently in a not rated condition.

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 015012 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agencies. Despite its very high risk assessment ranking, there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, and the last inspection was conducted in December 2010. With a primary purpose classified as "Other" and structures associated with the dam at zero, the risk management measures and inundation maps for the area remain unprepared.

As an important piece of infrastructure in Caddo County, Oklahoma, Oknoname 015012 serves a crucial role in water resource management and flood control along the TR-Horseshoe Canyon River. With a focus on maintaining its structural integrity and ensuring public safety, it is essential for state agencies to conduct regular inspections, implement risk management measures, and develop an Emergency Action Plan to mitigate potential hazards associated with the dam.

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.
