Summary
This dam, standing at a height of 20 feet and stretching 450 feet in length, serves a primary purpose labeled as 'Other.' Its maximum storage capacity is 230 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 90 acre-feet and a surface area of 4 acres. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes state inspection, enforcement, and permitting processes.
With a controlled spillway type and a low hazard potential, Oknoname 059029 has a very high risk assessment rating of 1. Although currently in a 'Not Rated' condition assessment status, the dam has an inspection frequency of 5 years, with the last inspection conducted on August 12, 2011. The structure features a valve outlet gate and is situated along the TR-Sand Creek, falling under the jurisdiction of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The local congressman representing the area is Frank D. Lucas, a Republican.
Overall, Oknoname 059029 stands as a crucial water resource management infrastructure in Oklahoma, contributing to flood control, water storage, and environmental conservation efforts. The dam's history, design specifications, and regulatory framework highlight its significance in ensuring water security and climate resilience in the region, underscoring the collaborative efforts between private owners, federal agencies, and state authorities in safeguarding critical water resources. As a key component in the state's water infrastructure network, Oknoname 059029 plays a vital role in mitigating risks, enhancing water supply reliability, and promoting sustainable water management practices in the face of evolving climate challenges.

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.
