Oknoname 037078 dam
Oknoname 037078
Oknoname 037078 is a privately owned earth dam located in Creek, Oklahoma, near the city of SUNRISE. Built in 1960, this dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. It spans 110 feet in length and features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot. The dam is situated on TR-TIGER CR, within the jurisdiction of the state of Oklahoma.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 037078 is deemed to have a very high risk due to its condition assessment being marked as "Not Rated." The dam has not been inspected since January 1, 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. It is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the risk associated with this structure and ensure that proper risk management measures are in place to prevent any potential disasters.
With the dam's emergency action plan status unknown and no recent updates on its risk assessment or management measures, there is a pressing need for stakeholders to prioritize the safety and maintenance of Oknoname 037078. As climate change intensifies and water resources become increasingly scarce, it is imperative to uphold the structural integrity of dams like this one to safeguard communities and ecosystems downstream. Continuing to monitor and address the risks associated with this dam will be paramount in ensuring its long-term functionality and safety.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Oknoname 037078
Where does the data for Oknoname 037078 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
