Summary
Completed in 1960, this recreational structure stands at 25 feet in height and spans 360 feet in length. It serves the primary purpose of recreation and holds a normal storage capacity of 20 acre-feet, with a maximum storage of 50 acre-feet.
Situated on the TR-EAST FORK SANDY CR river and regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 037053 has a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, it undergoes inspection every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in August 2011. With a very high risk assessment rating of 1, emergency action preparedness measures and risk management strategies are crucial for ensuring the safety and resilience of this structure in the face of potential climate-related challenges.
Despite being a non-federal structure, Oknoname 037053 falls under state regulation and enforcement, demonstrating the importance of state-level oversight in safeguarding water resources and infrastructure. With its potential for high-risk events and the need for proactive risk management, this dam serves as a reminder of the critical role that climate enthusiasts and water resource stakeholders play in promoting sustainable water management practices and disaster preparedness efforts.

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.
