Summary
Built in 1950, the dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 53 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and valve outlet gates, the dam has a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Bass Ce is regularly inspected, with the last assessment conducted in July 2005. Despite its age, the dam's condition is currently rated as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation. The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is used for irrigation or recreational purposes in the area.
Located within the Tulsa District, Bass Ce is an important structure for water resource management in McClain County. With its stone core and soil foundation, the dam plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of the Canadian River and ensuring water availability for the surrounding area. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find Bass Ce to be an intriguing example of early dam construction and the ongoing efforts to maintain and monitor its safety and functionality.

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.
