Summary
is a privately owned dam located in Luther, Oklahoma, within Logan County. Built in 1965, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a length of 325 feet. It serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 25 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in August 2011.
Situated on TR-Coon Creek, Wyatt Chas H. plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. With a low hazard potential and a risk assessment rating of "Very High (1)", the dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam is considered to be in satisfactory condition and meets the regulatory guidelines for operation. The surrounding area is at risk for inundation, highlighting the importance of proper risk management measures.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Wyatt Chas H. offers a fascinating case study in dam infrastructure and management. Owned and operated privately, this structure provides valuable insights into the challenges and responsibilities associated with maintaining critical water resources. With a rich history dating back to the 1960s and a significant role in flood control and water storage, Wyatt Chas H. stands as a testament to the intersection of human engineering and natural resource management in the state of Oklahoma.

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.
