It serves various purposes and has a low hazard potential, with a very high risk assessment rating. Despite its age, the dam is regularly inspected and maintained by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring its safety and functionality.
Situated in Grady County, Oklahoma, Oknoname 051013 is under state jurisdiction and regulated by the OWRB. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and is equipped with a valve outlet gate. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, its emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified in the available data. Overall, Oknoname 051013 plays a crucial role in water resource management and flood control in the region, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance and oversight for infrastructure in the face of changing climatic conditions.
With a congressman representative of Tom Cole (R), the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers oversees Oknoname 051013, which has a surface area of 4 acres and a normal storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is categorized as 'Other', and it is predominantly made of earth and stone materials. As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the maintenance and assessment of dams like Oknoname 051013 remain essential in ensuring the safety and resilience of communities and ecosystems in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
