Summary
Built in 1960, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 27 feet and stretches 640 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and "Not Rated" condition assessment, the dam is subject to state regulation and inspection by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a maximum discharge capacity of 1500 cubic feet per second. Its purpose and primary dam type are categorized as "Other" and "Earth" respectively, with a stone core and soil foundation. While the risk assessment for this dam is considered "Very High (1)", it has not been assigned a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) and lacks detailed risk management measures.
Overall, Oknoname 037059 serves as a crucial structure for water resource management in Creek County, Oklahoma, yet its risk profile and emergency preparedness measures may require further attention to ensure the safety and security of the surrounding communities and environment in the face of shifting climate patterns and water resource challenges.

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.
