Summary
Completed in 1960, this earthen dam on the TR-Skedee Creek serves various purposes, with a primary focus on providing much-needed water storage. With a height of 20 feet and a length of 600 feet, Feaster has a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 800 cfs, making it a significant structure in the area's water management system.
Despite its importance, Feaster poses a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition. However, the dam undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Feaster has a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. With its very high risk assessment rating, the dam's risk management measures should be closely monitored to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the continued functionality of this vital water infrastructure.
Situated in a region with a high risk of natural disasters and extreme weather events, Feaster plays a crucial role in water resource management and flood control. With its low hazard potential and significant storage capacity, this dam is a key asset in safeguarding the surrounding community against potential risks. Regular inspections and effective risk management practices are essential to ensuring the long-term sustainability and safety of Feaster for the benefit of both the environment and the local population.

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.
