Summary
Built in 1960, this earth dam stands at 35 feet tall with a length of 330 feet, providing a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose that is classified as 'Other', and it is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) with state jurisdiction and permitting.
Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 037039 is considered to have a very high risk assessment, indicating potential risks that need to be managed and monitored. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and a single valve outlet gate. Although the dam is not rated for its condition assessment, it undergoes inspections every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in August 2011. With its location on TR-SKULL CREEK and within the Tulsa District, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are currently undetermined.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in Oklahoma may find Oknoname 037039 to be an intriguing subject for further study and monitoring. The dam's unique design features, risk assessment, and state regulatory oversight make it a noteworthy structure in the region. As efforts continue to ensure the safety and integrity of dams like Oknoname 037039, the importance of managing and mitigating risks associated with potential hazards becomes increasingly crucial in safeguarding communities and water resources in the area.

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.
