Summary
Corp. is a privately owned dam located in Guthrie, Oklahoma, along the TR-Cimarron River. Completed in 1955, this Earth dam stands at 45 feet tall and stretches 750 feet in length, providing a surface area of 22 acres for recreational purposes. With a storage capacity of 760 acre-feet, the dam has a controlled spillway with a width of 2 feet and a maximum discharge of 5300 cubic feet per second.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Cedar Canyon Dev. Corp. is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite being rated as a low hazard potential structure, the dam's risk assessment is classified as very high due to its location and potential impact in case of an emergency. With a condition assessment of 'Not Rated' and no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, there is room for improvement in the risk management measures for this dam.
Overall, Cedar Canyon Dev. Corp. serves as a vital recreational resource for the community while also posing potential risks that need to be addressed. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to stay informed about the condition and safety measures of dams like Cedar Canyon Dev. Corp. to ensure the protection of both the environment and the surrounding communities.

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.
