Summary
Built in 1968, this dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a length of 650 feet, with a storage capacity of 260 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Luttrel Ee is listed as "Other", with a spillway type of "Controlled" and a hazard potential rated as "Low".
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Luttrel Ee is regularly inspected and maintained, with the last inspection conducted in July 2005. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment for this dam is considered "Very High (1)", indicating the need for vigilant monitoring and risk management measures. The dam's condition is currently listed as "Not Rated", suggesting a need for further assessment and potential upgrades to ensure its continued safety and functionality in the face of changing climate conditions.
Overall, Luttrel Ee presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, as it highlights the importance of regular inspection and maintenance of aging infrastructure to mitigate potential risks associated with extreme weather events and climate change. As a key component of the local water management system, this dam serves as a critical resource for flood control and water storage, underscoring the need for proactive measures to ensure its long-term resilience in the face of evolving environmental threats.

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.
