Summary

Completed in 1950, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 470 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 52 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is subject to regular inspections, with a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating.

The primary purpose of Oknoname 131014 is classified as "Other," with the dam primarily serving as a flood control structure on the TR-SWEETWATER CREEK. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation. While the risk assessment for the dam is deemed very high, no specific risk management measures or emergency action plans have been reported.

Overall, Oknoname 131014 represents a significant structure in the management of water resources in Oklahoma. As a privately-owned dam with state jurisdiction and regulation, its role in flood control and water storage on the TR-SWEETWATER CREEK is essential. However, further assessment and planning may be necessary to address the high risk associated with this dam and ensure its continued safety and functionality in the face of climate challenges.

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.
