Summary

The dam, completed in 1960, serves primarily for recreation purposes and stands at a height of 65 feet with a length of 500 feet. With a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet, the dam has a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.

Managed by the USDA NRCS, the dam is regulated by the OWRB and undergoes regular inspections, with a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment score. Despite being in operation for several decades, the condition of the dam is currently not rated. With its location in Tulsa County, the Public Service Company of Oklahoma dam serves as a critical structure for water resource management in the region.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Public Service Company of Oklahoma dam provides a fascinating glimpse into the infrastructure that supports recreational activities and water management in Oklahoma. With its unique design and regulatory oversight, this dam serves as a vital component of the state's water infrastructure, highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate patterns.

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.
