Completed in 1965, this 26-foot-tall structure spans 400 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release, with a low hazard potential rating and a very high risk assessment score.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 037075 is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Although the dam's condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," it undergoes inspections every 5 years. With a risk management plan in place and an emergency action plan yet to be prepared, this dam serves as a crucial infrastructure for flood control in the area, supported by state jurisdiction and oversight.
Despite the lack of federal involvement, Oknoname 037075 plays a vital role in protecting the local community from flood risks. With its strategic location and design features, this earth dam stands as a symbol of resilience and proactive water resource management in the face of climate challenges.
