Summary
Built in 1960 for recreational purposes, this dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 435 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is under state regulation by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring regular inspections and enforcement to maintain safety standards.
With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, Oknoname 037051 has a very high risk assessment due to its age and potential impact on the surrounding area in case of failure. Although the dam's condition is not rated, it is subject to a five-year inspection frequency to monitor any changes that may affect its structural integrity. While the dam currently meets guidelines for emergency action plans, there is room for improvement in risk management measures to address the identified risks and ensure the safety of the downstream community.
Overall, Oknoname 037051 serves as a reminder of the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance of dams, particularly in high-risk areas. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to advocate for proper regulation and enforcement to prevent potential disasters and protect our environment for future generations. By staying informed and actively engaging in dam safety initiatives, we can contribute to a more resilient and sustainable water infrastructure system.

Dam Data Reference
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.
