Summary
Built in 1951, this dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, with a maximum discharge of 1380 cubic feet per second. The dam serves as a flood control structure for the TR-East Cache Creek, providing protection for the surrounding area.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 031028 has a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential. Despite being in good condition and not rated for assessment, the dam undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its safety and functionality. With a very high risk assessment rating of 1, the dam is considered to be of significant importance in managing water resources and climate impacts in the region.
Overall, Oknoname 031028 plays a crucial role in water management and flood control in the area, serving as a key infrastructure for protecting the surrounding community from potential hazards. With its regulated operation and state jurisdiction, the dam represents a vital piece of the water resource infrastructure in Oklahoma. As climate change continues to impact the region, structures like Oknoname 031028 become increasingly essential in safeguarding against potential risks and ensuring the sustainability of water resources for the future.

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.
