Completed in 1965, this dam has a maximum storage capacity of 280 acre-feet and a normal storage of 130 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, it is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in May 2011.
Despite being classified as low risk, the dam's condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," indicating a lack of recent evaluation. The risk assessment, however, rates it as very high (1), signaling the need for potential management measures to mitigate any identified risks. While emergency action plans and inundation maps are not documented, the dam's emergency contacts and guidelines for response in case of a breach are unspecified. The presence of a single valve for outlet gates and the absence of associated structures or locks suggest a relatively simple design and operation for this water resource structure.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Oknoname 107032 will find it to be a significant feature in the Oklahoma landscape, serving a primary purpose classified as "Other" and constructed primarily of earth with stone core and soil foundation. The dam's strategic location in Boley, near the Tulsa District, underscores its importance in managing the flow of the North Canadian River. While some details such as the drainage area and dam volume are not provided, the data highlights the essential characteristics and regulatory oversight of this dam, making it an intriguing subject for further study and analysis in the realm of water resource management and climate resilience.
