Summary
Completed in 1940, this dam stands at 25 feet high and stretches 350 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 300 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Klutts is classified as 'Other', with a spillway type of 'Controlled' and a hazard potential rated as 'Low'. Despite being in a low hazard category, the risk assessment for Klutts indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance.
The dam is under the regulatory authority of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), with state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement all in place. The last inspection of Klutts was conducted in May 2011, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While the condition assessment is listed as 'Not Rated', the risk management measures and emergency action plan (EAP) status are not specified.
Located in the city of Castle, Klutts serves as a vital structure for water resource management, providing flood control and water storage capabilities for the surrounding area. With its historical significance dating back to the early 20th century, Klutts stands as a testament to the importance of maintaining and monitoring our water infrastructure in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing risk factors.

Dam Data Reference
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.
