Summary
Built in 1965 with a primary purpose classified as "Other," this earth dam with a height of 25 feet serves as a crucial structure along TR-COON CREEK. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam boasts a very high risk assessment rating, highlighting the importance of its ongoing monitoring and maintenance.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Oknoname 083003 is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement, ensuring its compliance with safety standards and environmental protection protocols. With a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 1100 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a vital role in flood control and water supply management for the surrounding area. Its controlled spillway and valve outlet gates further enhance its operational efficiency and safety measures.
Even though the dam's condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," its risk management measures and emergency response preparedness are critical aspects that require constant attention. With its strategic location and significance in the region's water infrastructure, Oknoname 083003 serves as a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts, highlighting the intersection of engineering, regulation, and environmental stewardship in safeguarding our water resources for future generations.

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.
