Built in 1965, this Earth type dam stands at a height of 32 feet and spans a length of 620 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 130 acre-feet. The dam serves as a vital structure for regulating the flow of the TR-Cottonwood River, with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.
Despite being classified with a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk due to its condition assessment being labeled as "Not Rated". While it is under state jurisdiction, the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) oversees its regulatory processes, including permitting, inspections, and enforcement. The dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness plans are currently not documented, highlighting the need for further assessment and updates to ensure the safety of the surrounding area in case of any potential incidents. With its strategic location and critical role in water resource management, Oknoname 083023 is a key structure for climate and water resource enthusiasts to monitor and study in the region.
