Summary

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, this earth dam structure stands at 30 feet in height and was completed in 1929. With a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet, the dam serves primarily for recreation purposes and boasts a spillway width of 1 foot.

Situated on a tributary to Tiger Creek, Danielson offers a surface area of 14 acres for visitors to enjoy various outdoor activities. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for this dam indicates a very high risk level. With regular state inspections and enforcement, as well as an emergency action plan in place, the safety and maintenance of this water resource are ensured.

Although not rated for its condition assessment, Danielson continues to be a popular destination for water and climate enthusiasts seeking recreational opportunities in a picturesque setting. With its historical significance dating back to nearly a century ago, this dam remains a vital part of the local community and a testament to sustainable water management practices in Oklahoma.

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.
