Summary
Built in 1960, this private-owned structure on TR-Briar Creek is primarily an Earth type dam with a height of 18 feet and a length of 600 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. The dam serves a variety of purposes and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring compliance with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement protocols.
With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating of 1, the Sartin Rd dam is a critical piece of infrastructure for the community in Lake Texoma. Equipped with a controlled spillway and a single outlet valve, the dam is designed to handle a maximum discharge of 720 cubic feet per second, safeguarding against potential flooding events. While the structure's condition assessment is currently not rated, its regular inspection schedule and adherence to state regulations contribute to its overall safety and reliability for water resource and climate enthusiasts alike.
As part of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Sartin Rd dam plays a crucial role in water management and flood control efforts in the region. Despite its age, the dam continues to fulfill its purpose effectively, with a normal storage capacity of 29 acre-feet and a surface area of 7 acres. With a dedicated emergency action plan and a comprehensive risk management strategy in place, the Sartin Rd dam stands as a model for sustainable water resource infrastructure in Oklahoma, ensuring the protection of both the environment and local communities for years to come.

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.
