Summary

Completed in 1951, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a hydraulic height of 16 feet as well. The primary purpose of this structure is listed as "Other", with low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 80 acre-feet.

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Sannan Everett is state-regulated and regularly inspected for safety and compliance. With a controlled spillway type and valve outlet gates, the dam has a maximum discharge capacity of 740 cubic feet per second. Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the risk assessment for this dam is deemed very high, indicating a need for robust risk management measures to ensure the safety of downstream areas in the event of a breach or failure. Overall, Sannan Everett serves as a crucial water resource infrastructure in the region, contributing to the management of water flow in the TR CACHE CR river or stream.

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.
