Summary
Built in 1970, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet. The lagoon is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is regularly inspected to ensure its proper functioning and safety.
The primary purpose of the Stroud Sewage Lagoon is for wastewater treatment, with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water management. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the facility is considered to have a very high risk due to its proximity to TR-Salt Creek and the potential impact of any failure on the surrounding area. Although the condition of the lagoon is currently not rated, it undergoes inspections every five years to monitor its maintenance and performance.
As an essential component of the local water infrastructure, the Stroud Sewage Lagoon plays a critical role in safeguarding the environment and public health. With its strategic location and design, the facility effectively manages wastewater to prevent pollution and ensure the sustainability of the water resources in Lincoln County, Oklahoma. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the importance of this infrastructure in maintaining water quality and protecting the surrounding ecosystem.

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.
