Summary
This structure stands at a height of 16 feet with a length of 700 feet, providing a storage capacity of 55 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement protocols are in place.
With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, Oknoname 073007 is designed to manage water flow efficiently and safely. Although its condition assessment is currently not rated, the risk assessment indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. It is noteworthy that the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are currently undisclosed, suggesting a need for further evaluation and preparedness in case of any unforeseen events.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the intricacies of dams like Oknoname 073007 is crucial in ensuring the safety and sustainability of our water infrastructure. By staying informed about the regulatory agencies involved, the dam's design and purpose, as well as its maintenance and risk assessment, we can contribute to the responsible management of our water resources and climate resilience efforts.

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.
