Summary
is a private dam located in Comanche, Oklahoma, along the TR BLUE BEAVER CR river. Built in 1950, this Earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a length of 675 feet, with a storage capacity of 230 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Lunyon Art M. is deemed to have a very high risk assessment, indicating potential vulnerabilities that merit attention. The dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated", with the last inspection conducted in September 2010. It is equipped with a controlled spillway and features a single valve outlet gate. The dam is situated in an area represented by Tom Cole (R) and falls under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the intricacies of Lunyon Art M. provides valuable insights into the management and regulation of critical infrastructure. Its presence along the TR BLUE BEAVER CR river underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams for both safety and environmental sustainability. With ongoing risk assessments and regulatory oversight, Lunyon Art M. stands as a testament to the intersection of human engineering and natural resources in Oklahoma's landscape.

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.
