Summary

Completed in 1960, this structure stands 20 feet high and has a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet. Situated along the TR-Bear Creek, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area.

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 083001 is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state to ensure its operational integrity. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this dam poses minimal risk to surrounding communities. Although its condition has not been officially rated, its very high risk assessment score of 1 indicates the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to uphold its flood control capabilities.

Despite its remote location in Meridian, Oklahoma, Oknoname 083001 serves as a vital piece of infrastructure in the area's water resource management. With a history dating back to the 1960s and a focus on flood risk reduction, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding communities from potential water-related disasters.

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.
