Summary
Built in 1940 for recreational purposes, this dam stands at a height of 35 feet with a length of 890 feet, providing a storage capacity of 700 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, Jackson Je is considered to have a very high risk due to its location and structural characteristics.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Jackson Je is regularly inspected and regulated to ensure its safety and functionality. With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and storage in the area. Although its condition is currently not rated, efforts are being made to assess and mitigate potential risks associated with this structure.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Jackson Je offers a fascinating case study in the management and regulation of a recreational dam in Oklahoma. With its unique design and historical significance, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring infrastructure to ensure the safety and well-being of surrounding communities.

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.
