Summary
It was completed in 1970 and stands at a height of 44 feet with a length of 290 feet. The dam has a primary purpose classified as "Other" and is of the Earth type with a stone core and soil foundation. It has a storage capacity of 180 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 640 cubic feet per second.
Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 051011 is considered to have a very high risk level, with a rating of 1. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and has state jurisdiction for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The last inspection took place in February 2001, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While the condition assessment is currently "Not Rated," there are no emergency action plans in place, and the risk management measures remain unspecified.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 051011 presents an interesting case study in dam infrastructure management. The dam's location in Grady County, Oklahoma, and its association with the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers highlight the importance of monitoring and maintaining critical water infrastructure. With a focus on state regulation and enforcement, as well as the potential risks associated with high hazard potential, this dam serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges in ensuring the safety and security of our water resources in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
