Summary

is a privately owned earth dam located in Coyle, Oklahoma, specifically on TR-Fitzgerald Creek. Completed in 1965, this dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a length of 620 feet, providing a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a hazard potential rated as low, this dam plays a vital role in managing water resources in the area.

Operated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Ringrose R.F. is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite being categorized as "Very High (1)" in terms of risk assessment, the dam's condition is currently rated as "Not Rated." With one valve outlet gate for water release and a history of regular inspections every 5 years, this structure remains a key component in water management efforts in Logan County.

While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not clearly defined, the presence of state oversight and proactive inspection practices indicate a commitment to ensuring the safety and integrity of Ringrose R.F. for both water resource management and climate resilience in the region.

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.
