Designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1950, this dam stands at 50 feet in height and has a storage capacity of 290 acre-feet. The dam is primarily used for purposes other than flood control or water supply, and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, it is important to ensure that proper risk management measures are in place for the safety of the surrounding community.
Although Boatman An has not been rated for its condition assessment, it is inspected every five years to ensure its structural integrity. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. While the dam is currently in a satisfactory condition, it is crucial for the owners and regulators to stay vigilant in monitoring its maintenance and addressing any potential risks. With a maximum discharge capacity of 1620 cubic feet per second, it is essential to have emergency action plans in place and to regularly update and review them to meet safety guidelines and ensure the protection of downstream areas in the event of a breach or failure.
