Summary
Constructed in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet. The dam primarily serves as a flood control structure on TR-SPRING BROOK CREEK, with a controlled spillway and a maximum discharge capacity of 1200 cubic feet per second.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, Oknoname 123005 is considered to have a very high risk level due to its condition assessment being rated as "Not Rated." The dam is equipped with a valve outlet gate for water release purposes and has a regular inspection frequency of 5 years. The risk management measures for this dam have not been specified, and it is not under the ownership or funding of any federal agency.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 123005 presents an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure management. With its unique design features and risk profile, this privately owned dam in Oklahoma serves as a critical piece of the local flood control infrastructure. Further research and monitoring of this dam's condition and risk factors could provide valuable insights into sustainable water resource management practices in the region.

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.
