Summary

Completed in 1957, this structure serves as a vital water resource along TR-Little Post Oak Creek, with a maximum storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and a normal storage of 20 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a very high risk assessment rating, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its safety and reliability for water management activities.

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Oknoname 031066 has state-regulated jurisdiction with permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes in place to uphold safety standards. The dam features a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate, demonstrating its functionality for managing water discharge. While the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are not specified, highlighting the need for updated emergency preparedness and risk mitigation strategies to address the high-risk nature of the structure.

With a designated purpose of "Other," Oknoname 031066 plays a crucial role in water resource management within the region, supported by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Its strategic location and design attributes make it a key component in maintaining water supply and flood control measures for the surrounding area. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring and supporting the ongoing maintenance and safety protocols for Oknoname 031066 can contribute to sustainable water management practices and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
