Summary
Built in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a length of 540 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Oknoname 107008 is for recreation, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and other water-based activities on the TR-NUYAKA CREEK.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Oknoname 107008 is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state agency to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. The dam has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and is equipped with a valve outlet gate. Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure, the dam is considered to have a very high risk due to its location and the potential consequences of a failure. Although the condition of the dam is not rated, it undergoes inspections every five years to monitor its integrity and safety.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 107008 serves as a significant landmark in the region, providing valuable recreational opportunities while also highlighting the importance of dam safety and management in the face of potential risks and hazards. With its rich history dating back to the 1960s, this earth dam stands as a testament to the engineering feats of the past and the ongoing efforts to protect both the environment and the community from potential disasters. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the management and maintenance of structures like Oknoname 107008 become increasingly vital in ensuring the safety and sustainability of our water systems.

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.
