Summary
is a privately owned earth dam located in Fairview, Oklahoma, along TR-BARNEY CREEK. The dam stands at a height of 20 feet with a length of 700 feet, providing a storage capacity of 112 acre-feet. Completed in 1960, Edwards C. serves a primary purpose of 'Other' and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB). The dam has a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, with a very high risk assessment rating.
Despite its age, Edwards C. has not been rated for its condition and has not been inspected since August 2009. However, the dam is equipped with a valve outlet gate and is designed to withstand a maximum discharge. The surrounding area, including Major County, relies on Edwards C. for water supply, irrigation, and flood control. With its location in a high-risk zone, the dam serves as a critical piece of infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
As a structure under private ownership, Edwards C. plays a crucial role in maintaining water security and mitigating climate-related risks in Major County, Oklahoma. With its low hazard potential and high-risk assessment, continued monitoring and inspection are essential to ensure the safety and functionality of the dam. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, staying informed about the condition and management of dams like Edwards C. is vital for sustainable water management practices and disaster preparedness in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
