Summary

Constructed in 1972, this earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and has a storage capacity of 180 acre-feet. It serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB). The dam has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and is equipped with a single valve outlet gate.

Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 059033 is classified as having a very high risk due to its risk assessment score of 1. The dam has not been officially assessed for its condition, but it undergoes inspection every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in August 2011. While the dam's Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status is unknown, it meets state regulatory requirements for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Additionally, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Tulsa District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in dams and their impact on the environment will find Oknoname 059033 to be a notable structure in the region. With its unique design features and risk assessment, this dam presents an intriguing case study for understanding the intersection of water management, infrastructure, and safety regulations. Its location in Oklahoma's rural landscape adds to its significance in the broader context of water resource management in the state.

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.
