Summary

Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 45 feet and spans a length of 210 feet. It serves multiple purposes, with a primary purpose classified as "Other", and has a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is subject to state inspection, permitting, and enforcement.

Situated on TR-Catfish Creek, Oknoname 037033 has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate equipped with one valve. Despite being categorized as low hazard potential, it is considered to have a very high risk assessment rating of 1. The last inspection date was in June 2005, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. The condition assessment remains "Not Rated", with no recent updates on emergency action plans or risk management measures in place.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 037033 presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam in Oklahoma that plays a crucial role in water management and flood control. Its location on TR-Catfish Creek, the design specifications, and the oversight by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board offer insight into the intricate network of infrastructure that supports water resource management in the region. With a combination of historical significance and ongoing maintenance requirements, this dam highlights the importance of proactive risk assessment and emergency preparedness in safeguarding critical water resources in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
