Summary

The dam, constructed in 1960, is primarily used for purposes other than flood control or water supply, standing at a height of 19 feet and a length of 745 feet, with a storage capacity of 65 acre-feet. Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, the dam is currently in fair condition, having undergone its last inspection in August 2020.

Owned and operated by a private entity, Goldco Operating Co's dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and falls under state jurisdiction for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The structure features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate consisting of a single valve. The dam's risk assessment categorizes it as having a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of ongoing risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards and ensure public safety.

With its strategic location in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, Goldco Operating Co's dam on the TR-Canadian River serves as a significant water resource management asset. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and advocate for sustainable practices, understanding the operational dynamics and risk profile of structures like the Goldco Operating Co dam is crucial for ensuring the resilience and safety of our water infrastructure in the face of evolving environmental 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.
