Summary
This dam on TR-ROCK CREEK stands at a height of 40 feet, with a capacity to store 240 acre-feet of water. With a surface area of 5 acres, this dam serves as a controlled spillway with a maximum discharge of 2100 cubic feet per second.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 037079 has a low hazard potential and is currently in a not-rated condition as per the last inspection in August 2011. Despite its age, the dam remains structurally sound and meets state regulatory requirements. However, the risk assessment for this dam indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of continued monitoring and management to ensure public safety and water resource preservation.
In the event of an emergency, the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, which raises concerns about preparedness and response strategies. As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, it is essential to advocate for the implementation of risk management measures and the development of an EAP to mitigate potential hazards and safeguard the surrounding community and environment.

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.
