Summary
Situated on TR-Little Sandy Creek, the dam serves as a vital resource for water management and flood control in the area.
With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, Crawford Eg is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and regularly inspected for safety and compliance. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam continues to play a crucial role in water resource management in the region. As a controlled spillway type structure, Crawford Eg provides essential water storage and discharge capabilities to mitigate potential flood risks along the TR-Little Sandy Creek.
Although no emergency action plan (EAP) has been prepared for Crawford Eg, the dam's risk management measures and maintenance protocols are carefully monitored to ensure the safety of the surrounding community. With a maximum discharge capacity of 880 cubic feet per second, Crawford Eg remains a key infrastructure asset in the Tulsa District, contributing to the overall resilience of the water resource and climate management efforts in the area.

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.
