Summary
Completed in 1965, this dam serves multiple purposes and has a storage capacity of 400 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is subject to state inspection, enforcement, and permitting requirements.
Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 075004 is classified as very high risk due to its condition assessment being marked as "Not Rated". The dam has a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Although the last inspection was conducted in 2010, with an inspection frequency of 5 years, the dam's emergency action plan status is unknown. The risk management measures and inundation maps for the dam have not been prepared or updated.
Overall, Oknoname 075004 presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the importance of regular inspection and maintenance of dams to ensure their safety and functionality. With its unique characteristics and risk assessment, this dam serves as a reminder of the critical role that infrastructure plays in managing water resources and mitigating potential hazards.

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.
