Summary
Completed in 1967, this earth dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is subject to state inspection, enforcement, and permitting requirements, ensuring its safety and compliance with regulations.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 087003 is considered to have a very high risk level according to the data provided, with a risk assessment rating of 1. The dam features a controlled spillway and one outlet gate, and its condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated." While the last inspection occurred in 2005, with an inspection frequency of 5 years, the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and risk management measures for the dam are not specified in the data.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Oknoname 087003 can appreciate its role in managing water levels along the TR-CANADIAN RIVER and its contribution to the surrounding area's water supply and ecosystem. The dam's historical significance, engineering design, and ongoing regulatory oversight by the Oklahoma authorities highlight its importance in maintaining water security and mitigating flood risks in McClain County.

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.
