Summary
is a privately owned dam located in Coyle, Logan County, Oklahoma. Managed by the state agency OWRB, this Earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and was completed in 1965. With a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 6800 cubic feet per second, this structure serves various purposes including flood control and water supply for the surrounding area.
Despite its low hazard potential, Jones Forrest A. poses a very high risk due to its age and condition assessment, which is currently not rated. The dam has a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate for regulation. While it meets state regulatory standards, it has not been inspected since August 2011, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. As an important infrastructure in the region, it is crucial to ensure regular maintenance and monitoring to prevent any potential risks or failures.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Jones Forrest A. presents an opportunity to study the impact of aging infrastructure on water management and safety. With the risk assessment indicating a very high risk level, it is essential for stakeholders to prioritize inspection and maintenance efforts to ensure the continued functionality of this dam. By understanding the complexities of managing and maintaining dams in the face of changing climate patterns, researchers and policymakers can work towards sustainable water resource management practices for the future.

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.
