Summary
Built in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a length of 400 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is inspected regularly to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with state regulations.
The primary purpose of Oknoname 083010 is classified as "Other," with the dam serving various purposes beyond flood control or water supply. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment for this dam is rated as very high (1), emphasizing the importance of proactive risk management measures. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a maximum discharge capacity of 3,600 cubic feet per second.
Overall, Oknoname 083010 presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the intersection of private ownership, state regulation, and risk management in dam infrastructure. As one of the many structures contributing to water management in the area, this dam highlights the ongoing efforts to balance water resource utilization with environmental and safety considerations in the state of Oklahoma.

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.
