Summary

This earth dam, completed in 1950, stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. Situated on the TR Blue Beaver Creek, the dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB). Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is classified as having a very high risk assessment, indicating potential vulnerabilities that need to be addressed.

The dam has a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and a surface area of 9 acres. It is regularly inspected, with the last inspection conducted in September 2010. The dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are not specified in the data. The surrounding area is at risk of inundation, as indicated by the very high risk assessment rating assigned to the dam. With its location in a high-risk area and the potential for significant consequences in the event of failure, ensuring the safety and stability of Oknoname 031024 is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts.

Overall, Oknoname 031024 is a significant earth dam in Oklahoma with a complex risk profile that warrants attention. As a part of the Tribal Government's infrastructure, it plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. With a thorough understanding of its design, purpose, and risk factors, stakeholders can work towards implementing effective risk management measures and emergency preparedness protocols to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
