Summary
Built in 1969, this Earth-type dam stands at 15 feet high and stretches 450 feet in length, with a maximum storage capacity of 90 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk due to its structural condition being rated as "Not Rated." The dam is under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement.
The primary purpose of Oknoname 031048 is classified as "Other," with its design featuring a stone core and soil foundation. It has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and is equipped with a single valve outlet gate. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status, risk assessment, and risk management measures are currently not available, indicating a need for further evaluation and preparedness. The dam's location in Comanche County, Oklahoma, adds to the significance of its role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
Overall, Oknoname 031048 serves as a critical infrastructure in the management of water resources along TR-Pecan Creek. With its state-regulated status and high-risk assessment, there is a pressing need for ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and potential enhancement of emergency preparedness measures. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the intricacies of dams like Oknoname 031048 can provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in ensuring the safety and sustainability of our vital water infrastructure.

Dam Data Reference
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.
