Summary
The dam was completed in 1960 and serves the primary purpose of "Other", with a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 20 acre-feet. It is classified as an Earth dam with a height of 35 feet and a length of 355 feet, situated on the TR-SKULL CREEK river or stream.
The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the dam carries a very high risk assessment due to its age and other factors. The last inspection of Oknoname 037038 was conducted in August 2011, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years. In terms of emergency preparedness, details such as the existence of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and the accuracy of inundation maps are not readily available.
Overall, Oknoname 037038 represents a crucial piece of infrastructure in the region, contributing to water resource management and climate resilience efforts. With its unique design characteristics and regulatory oversight, this dam serves as a key component in the broader network of water infrastructure in Oklahoma, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures for the safety and well-being of surrounding communities.

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.
