Built in 1960, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and valve as the outlet gates, this structure has a low hazard potential but is considered to have a very high risk due to its condition assessment not being rated.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 111047 is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement. The dam, with a length of 3440 feet and a hydraulic height of 28 feet, serves a critical role in water resource management in the region. Markwayne Mullin (R) represents the area in Congress but no federal agency ownership or funding is associated with this structure.
Although the last inspection was conducted in 2001, with an inspection frequency of 5 years, the condition assessment remains unrated. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are also unclear. Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the infrastructure and management of dams would find Oknoname 111047 a compelling case study for understanding the complexities of balancing water resource utilization with safety and environmental concerns.
