Summary
Constructed in 1952, this earthen dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of 'Other' and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
The dam spans 399 feet in length and features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, the dam is classified as not rated for its condition assessment. Despite being non-federally owned, Oknoname 031020 falls under state jurisdiction and is subject to state regulatory agencies. The area is represented by Tom Cole (R) in Congress, with the Fort Worth District overseeing its operations within the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Oknoname 031020 an intriguing subject, as its location along TR Post Oak Creek presents unique challenges and opportunities for managing water resources in Oklahoma. The dam's design and construction, along with its state-regulated status, highlight the importance of infrastructure maintenance and risk management in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water structures. With its historical significance and ongoing regulatory oversight, Oknoname 031020 serves as a valuable case study for understanding the intersection of water resource management, climate resilience, and infrastructure development 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.
