Summary
The dam, completed in 1960, stands at a height of 27 feet and has a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet. It serves as a vital structure along the TR-WEST BITTER CREEK, with a controlled spillway and one outlet gate for water release.
The dam is primarily categorized as an earth dam, with a core composed of stone and foundations in soil. Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the risk assessment for Oknoname 051004 indicates a very high level of risk, warranting attention and monitoring. While the dam has not been assessed for its condition, it is subject to regular inspections by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) to ensure compliance with state regulations and safety standards.
Overall, Oknoname 051004 plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region, providing storage capacity for 240 acre-feet of water and serving as a key structure for flood control and water release. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the significance of this dam in maintaining the balance of the TR-WEST BITTER CREEK watershed and mitigating potential risks associated with its operation.

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.
