Summary
Built in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet with a length of 3830 feet, providing a storage capacity of 230 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure, Oknoname 075013 faces a very high risk assessment due to its location along the Little Post Oak Creek and the potential impact of a breach on downstream areas. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and a valve outlet gate for water release. The last inspection was conducted in November 2001, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. While the condition assessment is currently rated as "Not Rated", the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are not specified in the available data.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts would find Oknoname 075013 an intriguing structure to study, given its historical significance, design features, and the potential risks associated with its operation. With its stone core and soil foundation, this dam represents a key component of the water management infrastructure in Kiowa County, Oklahoma. As efforts to enhance dam safety and resilience continue, monitoring and evaluating the condition and performance of Oknoname 075013 will be crucial in ensuring the protection of downstream communities and ecosystems.

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.
