Summary
It spans a length of 319 feet and has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
The dam, situated on TR-Graves Creek in Hughes County, Oklahoma, is categorized as low hazard potential with a condition assessment of "Not Rated." Despite the low hazard potential, the risk assessment for this structure is classified as "Very High (1)." While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it undergoes inspections every five years, with the last inspection conducted in August 2011. With one valve outlet gate, the dam is equipped for emergency situations, although details on emergency action plans and risk management measures are currently unavailable.
Overall, Oknoname 063010 serves as an essential component of water resource management in the region, providing storage capacity and flood control measures. The dam's location in a high-risk zone underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the characteristics and regulatory framework of dams like Oknoname 063010 is crucial for sustainable water management practices and disaster preparedness.

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.
