Summary
Built in 1950, this dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet. With a surface area of 3 acres, it serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is classified as having a low hazard potential. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release.
Despite being privately owned, Oknoname 051026 is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes periodic inspections, with the last inspection being conducted in August 2010. This dam has a very high risk assessment rating of 1, indicating the potential for significant consequences in the event of a failure. While its condition is currently not rated, the dam remains under state jurisdiction and is subject to regulatory enforcement and permitting.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Oknoname 051026 to be an intriguing structure with a unique history and design. Its location in Grady County, Oklahoma, and close proximity to Pocasset make it a notable feature within the landscape. As a part of the Tulsa District, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and storage along the TR-West Fork Salt Creek, showcasing the importance of infrastructure in supporting sustainable water management practices in the region.

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.
