Summary
Completed in 1970, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a length of 600 feet. It serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other," with a maximum storage capacity of 100 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 50 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-REDOUBT CREEK and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB).
Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 059003 is considered to have a very high risk level, ranking at 1 on the risk assessment scale. The dam's spillway is of the controlled type, with a width of 1 foot, and features one valve as its outlet gate. Although the dam has not been rated for its current condition, it undergoes inspections every 5 years, with the last one being conducted in August 2011. Additionally, the dam does not have an emergency action plan (EAP) prepared, and there is limited information available on its risk management measures.
Overall, Oknoname 059003 presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, highlighting the importance of monitoring and maintaining dams, even those with seemingly low hazard potential. The dam's location, design, and regulatory oversight by the OWRB make it a valuable asset in understanding the intersection of water management, infrastructure, and environmental risk assessment in Oklahoma.

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.
