Summary
Completed in 1965, this dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. With a spillway type of 'Controlled' and a low hazard potential, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the area.
Owned and regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Burlingame No.2 is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. Despite being classified as 'Not Rated' in terms of condition assessment, the dam poses a very high risk due to its location and the potential impact of a failure. Emergency action plans and risk management measures are yet to be fully developed, highlighting the importance of continuous monitoring and improvement to enhance the safety of the surrounding communities and natural habitats.
With a downstream population at risk and a high risk characterization, Burlingame No.2 serves as a critical infrastructure for water management and climate resilience in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to support ongoing efforts to strengthen emergency preparedness, improve risk assessment, and implement sustainable practices that safeguard the integrity of this dam and ensure the well-being of all those who depend on its functionality.

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.
