Eyler Nelson E dam
Eyler Nelson E
Eyler Nelson E is a privately-owned dam located in Keetonville, Oklahoma, along the TR-Horsepen Creek. Completed in 1970, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 630 feet. With a primary purpose of recreation, the dam offers a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet and a surface area of 7 acres. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and integrity.
Situated within the Tulsa District, Eyler Nelson E is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. The dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," but its risk assessment is categorized as "Very High (1)." Although the dam has not been modified in recent years, it remains a popular spot for recreational activities and serves as a vital resource for the surrounding community. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, Eyler Nelson E offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of human infrastructure and natural landscapes.
With its picturesque location in Tulsa County, Eyler Nelson E is not just a dam but a symbol of the importance of water management and conservation. As we continue to face challenges related to climate change and water scarcity, understanding the role of structures like Eyler Nelson E becomes increasingly crucial. By recognizing the value of these resources and advocating for their proper maintenance and regulation, we can ensure a sustainable future for both our environment and our communities.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Eyler Nelson E
Where does the data for Eyler Nelson E come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
