Summary
Built in 1955, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet and stretches 905 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 77 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
With a low hazard potential and a "Very High (1)" risk assessment rating, Abbott Jordan Jr has one valve outlet gate and a controlled spillway. The dam has not been rated for condition assessment and has a recommended inspection frequency of every 5 years, with the last inspection dating back to May 2004. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, it meets state jurisdiction requirements and is actively regulated by the OWRB.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Abbott Jordan Jr presents an interesting case study of a privately owned dam in Oklahoma. With its unique design features and storage capacity, the dam serves as a key structure for water management in the Pontotoc County area. As climate change continues to impact water resources, understanding the regulation and risk assessment of dams like Abbott Jordan Jr is crucial for ensuring the safety and sustainability of our water infrastructure.

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.
