Summary

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, this reservoir on TR-Curl Creek was completed in 1955 and serves as a valuable source of water storage with a normal capacity of 67 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 126 acre-feet. The dam itself stands at 21 feet tall with a length of 410 feet, primarily made of earth and stone materials.

Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure, Tie-In-Club is subject to regular state inspections, enforcement, and permitting to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. The spillway is controlled with a width of 1 foot, and the outlet gates consist of a single valve. With a very high risk assessment ranking of 1, there is a strong emphasis on risk management measures to mitigate any potential issues that may arise.

Water enthusiasts and climate advocates can appreciate the significance of Tie-In-Club not only as a recreational spot in Oglesbe, Oklahoma, but also as a critical infrastructure for water resource management in the region. The involvement of the Oklahoma state agency in regulating and overseeing the dam underscores the importance of maintaining the integrity and safety of this water storage facility for both environmental and public safety reasons.

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.
