Summary

Built in 1935 by the local government, this Earth-type dam stands at 16 feet tall and stretches 410 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet. The pond covers a surface area of 4 acres and is fed by the Tri.-Canadian River, providing a serene setting for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and birdwatching.

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Mulvey Pond is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced to ensure safety and compliance with state laws. Despite its low hazard potential, the pond poses a very high risk due to its proximity to residential areas and potential for flooding. While it has not been rated for condition assessment, the pond's emergency action plan and risk management measures are in place to mitigate any potential threats and ensure the safety of visitors and nearby communities.

With its controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and maximum discharge capacity of 360 cubic feet per second, Mulvey Pond offers a tranquil escape for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the natural beauty of Canadian County, Oklahoma. Its recreational primary purpose, combined with its scenic surroundings and diverse wildlife, makes Mulvey Pond a must-visit destination for those passionate about water resources and climate conservation.

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.
