Oknoname 111028 dam
Oknoname 111028
Oknoname 111028, located in Stone Bluff, Oklahoma, is a privately owned dam regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. Completed in 1940, this Earth-type structure stands at a height of 22 feet with a length of 600 feet, providing a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The dam, situated on the TR-SNAKE CR river or stream, features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.
Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 111028 is classified as having a very high risk due to its age and condition assessment being labeled as "Not Rated." The last inspection in August 2011 revealed a 5-year inspection frequency. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are currently unspecified. With state jurisdiction and regulation in place, this structure serves a primary purpose of "Other" and poses a potential risk to the surrounding area in case of failure.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 111028 presents an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure management and risk assessment. With its historical significance dating back to the 1940s and a mix of state and private ownership, this dam on TR-SNAKE CR river serves as a focal point for monitoring and ensuring safety measures are in place to address any potential hazards. As climate change impacts continue to influence water resource management, understanding the condition and risk profile of structures like Oknoname 111028 becomes crucial for sustainable planning and adaptation strategies.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Oknoname 111028
Where does the data for Oknoname 111028 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
