Summary
Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet with a length of 600 feet, providing a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is categorized as "Other", and it is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) with state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
Situated on the TR-CHICKEN CREEK river/stream, Oknoname 037043 has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate consisting of a single valve. The dam has a low hazard potential and is currently not rated for its condition assessment. Despite being labeled as very high risk level (1), there is no available risk management plan or measures listed for this structure. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and contact information for emergency situations are also not updated as of the last inspection in August 2011.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 037043 presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam in Oklahoma with a mix of regulatory oversight, safety assessments, and risk management considerations that are essential for monitoring and maintaining infrastructure resilience in the face of changing climate conditions and potential hazards. The lack of recent updates on emergency preparedness and risk management for this structure highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and proactive measures to ensure the safety and stability of water resource systems in the region.

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.
