Summary

Built in 1960, this dam on TR-POLCAT CREEK has a height of 27 feet and a length of 280 feet, with a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is rated as having a low hazard potential.

Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 037036 is considered to have a very high risk assessment. The dam has not been rated for its condition, and there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place. The last inspection was conducted in 2002, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. The spillway is of the controlled type with a width of 1 foot, and there is one valve for outlet gates.

Overall, Oknoname 037036 serves a primary purpose that is classified as 'Other', with a design primarily made of earth and stone core. While the dam is in compliance with state regulations for inspection and enforcement, its risk assessment indicates the need for further evaluation and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding area and water resources.

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.
