Summary
Built in 1940, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a length of 210 feet, providing a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, Love Lh is regularly inspected and maintained by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to ensure its safety and functionality for recreational purposes.
The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a maximum discharge capacity of 100 cubic feet per second. Its hazard potential is rated as low, but the risk assessment indicates a very high level of risk. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are all currently unavailable. The surrounding area offers a surface area of 1 acre for recreational use, making Love Lh an ideal spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy outdoor activities and appreciate the beauty of nature in Oklahoma.
In conclusion, Love Lh serves as a vital recreational resource for the community, offering a peaceful escape and opportunities for outdoor recreation along the TR-Little Catfish Creek. Despite its age and potential risks, the dam is well-maintained and regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to ensure the safety of visitors and the surrounding environment.

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.
