Summary
The dam has a maximum storage capacity of 100 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, with a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 037042 poses a very high risk according to a risk assessment, indicating a need for careful monitoring and maintenance. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections, with the last recorded inspection taking place in August 2011. With a valve outlet gate and a maximum discharge capacity of 2100 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area and mitigating potential risks associated with flooding.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like Oknoname 037042 becomes increasingly vital. With its strategic location in Slick, Oklahoma, and its role in controlling water flow along TR-ROCK CREEK, this dam serves as a key component in the region's water management system. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to stay informed about the condition and potential risks associated with structures like Oknoname 037042 to ensure the safety and sustainability of our water systems.

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.
