Summary
Completed in 1970, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 820 feet, providing a storage capacity of 220 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-CANADIAN RIVER, this structure is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
The dam's primary purpose is classified as "Other," with a spillway type of "Controlled" and a low hazard potential. Despite being rated as not assessed in terms of condition, the risk assessment for Oknoname 123001 is very high, indicating potential concerns for the surrounding area. With a maximum discharge capacity of 1440 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and protecting against flooding in the region.
While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it is equipped with a single valve outlet gate for water release. The last inspection took place in May 2010, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. Overall, Oknoname 123001 serves as a key infrastructure for water management in Oklahoma, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure public safety and environmental protection in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
