Summary
Completed in 1950, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and has a length of 460 feet, with a primary purpose of providing recreational opportunities. The dam is situated on the Little Polecat Creek and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
With a maximum storage capacity of 180 acre-feet, Oknoname 037020 has a controlled spillway type and a low hazard potential. Despite being categorized as "not rated" in terms of condition assessment, the dam is regularly inspected every five years to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. Additionally, a risk assessment has classified the dam's risk level as "Very High (1)", indicating the importance of continued monitoring and risk management measures.
Even though there have been no recent modifications or updates to the emergency action plan for Oknoname 037020, the dam remains a critical structure in the region with a very high risk potential. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to stay informed about the condition and management of dams like Oknoname 037020 to ensure the safety of both the structure and the surrounding community.

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.
