Summary

Built in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and has a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is classified as a low hazard potential structure with a very high risk assessment rating.

Despite being privately owned, Hall Ce is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam has a controlled spillway and is equipped with a valve outlet gate. The last inspection was conducted in August 2010 with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. The condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated", indicating that further evaluation may be needed to assess the structural integrity of the dam.

Overall, Hall Ce presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the importance of proper regulation and maintenance of dams to mitigate potential risks and ensure public safety. With its unique characteristics and location in a high-risk area, this structure serves as a reminder of the critical role that infrastructure plays in managing water resources and protecting communities from potential hazards.

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.
