Summary
Built in 1940, this dam stands at a height of 35 feet and stretches 340 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. It serves as a critical structure on TR-ROCK CREEK, managed and regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB). Despite its low hazard potential, it has been classified as having a very high risk due to its age and condition.
The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. While it has not been rated for its current condition, it undergoes inspections every five years, the last of which took place in August 2011. The risk management measures and Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status for Oknoname 037082 remain unclear, raising concerns about its ability to withstand potential emergencies and floods. With a notable association with the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam is a key component of the local water resource infrastructure.
Oknoname 037082 stands as a testament to the intricacies of managing and regulating water resources and dams in Oklahoma. Its historical significance, coupled with its functional purpose and structural characteristics, make it a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts keen on understanding the complexities of maintaining and monitoring such critical infrastructure in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
