Summary
Built in 1950, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a length of 320 feet, providing a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
Despite its low hazard potential, Newman Pe is classified as having a very high risk due to its location and structural characteristics. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Although it has not been rated for condition assessment, the dam is inspected every five years, with the last inspection conducted in August 2011. Emergency action plans and inundation maps for Newman Pe are currently unavailable, raising concerns about the readiness for potential risks and emergencies associated with the dam.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate monitoring may find Newman Pe's risk profile and regulatory oversight intriguing, as it highlights the importance of maintaining infrastructure resilience in the face of evolving environmental challenges. With its unique design and historical significance, this dam serves as a focal point for understanding the intersection of human-made structures and natural water systems in Oklahoma's landscape.

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.
