Summary

This dam, standing at a height of 23 feet, serves as a crucial structure for regulating the TR-POND CREEK river/stream. With a maximum storage capacity of 113 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 60 acre-feet, Oknoname 063001 plays a significant role in water resource management in the region. Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure, it is subject to regular state inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality.

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 063001 is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. The dam's purpose is primarily classified as "Other", and it serves various functions related to water management in the area. Although the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, its risk level is considered very high, warranting proper risk management measures. While the dam does not have a designated Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, it is subject to regular inspection every five years to assess its operational status and potential risks.

Overall, Oknoname 063001 is a crucial infrastructure in the Tulsa District, serving as a key element in the local water management system. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's very high risk level underscores the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of the surrounding communities and water resources. With the state regulatory agency overseeing its operations, Oknoname 063001 remains an essential asset in the region's water resource and climate resilience efforts.

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. 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

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, 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.
