Summary

Built in 1965, this Earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and spans 550 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 81 acre-feet. With a spillway width of 1 foot and a controlled spillway type, Eagle has a low hazard potential according to its risk assessment.

Despite being a privately owned structure, Eagle is state regulated and permitted, with regular inspections and enforcement by the OWRB. The dam's primary purpose is recreation, with a focus on providing water storage for leisure activities such as boating and fishing. The risk assessment for Eagle categorizes it as having a very high risk level, indicating potential vulnerabilities that require ongoing monitoring and management measures.

Eagle's location in Oklahoma City, within the Tulsa District, highlights its significance in the local water resource management. With a maximum discharge capacity of 3800 cubic feet per second and a valve outlet system, this dam plays a crucial role in controlling water flow and ensuring the safety of nearby areas. As a key structure in the region, Eagle demonstrates the importance of sustainable dam operations and risk mitigation strategies in the face of climate variability and water resource 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.
