Oknoname 087010 dam
Oknoname 087010
Oknoname 087010 is a privately owned dam located in Cole, Oklahoma, within McClain County. Constructed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a length of 775 feet. The primary purpose of Oknoname 087010 is classified as 'Other', with a storage capacity of 278 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 80 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes regular inspections, with the last inspection conducted in July 2005.
The dam sits on the TR-North Fork Walnut Creek and is part of the Tulsa District under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 087010 is categorized as having a very high risk level, with a risk assessment rating of 1. The spillway type is controlled with a width of 1 foot, and the outlet gates consist of a single valve. Although the condition of the dam has not been rated, it meets state regulatory standards and has remained unchanged since its last inspection in 2005.
Overall, Oknoname 087010 represents a crucial water resource infrastructure in Oklahoma, serving various purposes and providing essential water storage capacity. With its strategic location in Cole and proximity to the North Fork Walnut Creek, this dam plays a significant role in managing water resources and mitigating potential risks associated with flooding. As a privately owned structure, Oknoname 087010 contributes to the overall water management efforts in the region and underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams for the safety and well-being of surrounding communities.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Oknoname 087010
Where does the data for Oknoname 087010 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
