Summary
Built in 1950, this dam stands at a height of 28 feet and spans a length of 250 feet, with a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. It serves as a crucial structure for water resource management, with a spillway width of 1 foot and a maximum discharge capacity of 900 cubic feet per second.
Managed by the OWRB and regulated by the state of Oklahoma, Oknoname 037037 has a low hazard potential but is classified as having a very high risk due to its location and condition. While the dam is currently not rated for its condition assessment, it undergoes inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. With a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate, this dam plays a vital role in flood control and water storage for the surrounding area.
Despite being privately owned, Oknoname 037037 plays a crucial role in water management and climate resilience in Creek County, Oklahoma. As a key infrastructure along the Little Deep Fork River, this dam not only provides flood protection but also contributes to the overall water resource management in the region. With its low hazard potential and regular inspections, Oknoname 037037 stands as a testament to the importance of maintaining and monitoring our water infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
