Summary
Built in 1960, this recreational dam stands 40 feet tall and spans 250 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. The dam is regulated and inspected by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 037016 is considered to have a very high risk due to its location along TR-BROWNS CREEK. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Although it has not been rated for condition assessment, the dam has undergone regular inspections, with the last one carried out in August 2011. In the event of an emergency, the dam may pose a risk to downstream areas, highlighting the importance of proper risk management measures.
Overall, Oknoname 037016 serves as a vital recreational structure in the area, offering opportunities for outdoor activities and water-based recreation. With its strategic location and regulated maintenance, the dam contributes to the water resource management efforts in Oklahoma, ensuring both safety and enjoyment for visitors and nearby communities.

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.
