Summary
Constructed in 1979, this dam stands at a height of 20 feet with a length of 330 feet, providing a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, this structure has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 059026 is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement, ensuring its safety and functionality. Despite being designated as a very high risk (Level 1) structure, this dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks emergency action plans and inundation maps. The last inspection in August 2011 revealed no specific condition assessment, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and risk management measures for this crucial flood control infrastructure in Harper County.
With the potential to mitigate flood risks in the region, Oknoname 059026 stands as a key asset in water resource management in Oklahoma. As climate change impacts intensify, the importance of maintaining and enhancing the safety of such structures becomes increasingly critical. By staying vigilant and proactive in risk assessment and management, stakeholders can ensure the long-term functionality and effectiveness of Oknoname 059026 for the surrounding communities and ecosystems.

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.
