Summary

Built in 1960, this dam stands at a height of 20 feet and stretches for 560 feet, providing a storage capacity of 270 acre-feet. Despite its relatively low hazard potential, this dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), ensuring its safe operation and maintenance.

The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a maximum discharge capacity of 1050 cubic feet per second. Its primary purpose is categorized as 'Other', with the structure designed for multiple functions beyond flood control and water storage. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, its risk assessment is classified as 'Very High (1)', necessitating regular inspections and risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards.

Located in Hughes County, Oklahoma, Oknoname 063026 is under the jurisdiction of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With its strategic placement and critical role in water resource management, this dam serves as a vital infrastructure for the local community and highlights the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures in the face of changing climate patterns and water resource challenges.

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.
