Summary
Built in 1950, this earth dam stands at 40 feet tall and spans a length of 320 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is for recreation, offering opportunities for activities like fishing and boating in the area.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, this dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state authorities, ensuring its safety and compliance with regulations. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential and not currently assessed for condition, the dam is still deemed to have a very high risk due to its age and structural integrity. Emergency preparedness measures, such as an Emergency Action Plan, have not been updated or prepared for this site.
With a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate, Oknoname 037046 is a crucial structure in the Tulsa District's water management system. While it provides recreational opportunities for the local community, its risk assessment raises concerns about its long-term safety and the need for proactive risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards.

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.
