Summary
is a private dam located in Faxon, Oklahoma, along the TR Blue Beaver Creek. This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a length of 270 feet, with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. Completed in 1953, it is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections, with a low hazard potential rating. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.
Despite its age, Jones L.L. remains in good condition and meets safety guidelines. It has a very high risk assessment rating of 1, indicating its importance in managing and mitigating potential risks associated with its operation. The dam is not under the jurisdiction of any federal agency and is solely owned by a private entity. Its location in Comanche County, Oklahoma, adds to its significance in the local water resource management system.
With a history dating back to the mid-20th century, Jones L.L. continues to serve its primary purpose effectively. Its presence along TR Blue Beaver Creek contributes to the overall water resource infrastructure in the region. Enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate change will find Jones L.L. an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam that plays a crucial role in the water management efforts within the state of Oklahoma.

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.
