Summary

is a private entity located in Moore, Oklahoma, with its dam structure situated along the TR-Canadian River. The dam, primarily an Earth type with a height of 22 feet and a length of 735 feet, was completed in 1970 and serves a variety of purposes beyond traditional flood control, making it a unique and versatile water resource.

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite this, the risk assessment for the dam is classified as very high (1), indicating a need for continued monitoring and potential risk management measures. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a maximum discharge capacity of 3400 cubic feet per second.

Overall, United Founders Life Ins. dam represents an important water resource in the region, with a significant storage capacity of 110 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 35 acre-feet. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its operational and regulatory aspects are in compliance with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it's essential to monitor and address the potential risks associated with this critical infrastructure to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the surrounding community.

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.
