Summary
Constructed in 1940, this stone core dam stands at 30 feet high and has a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet. The dam has a controlled spillway and is primarily regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, Oknoname 113117 is considered a crucial asset for the local community. The dam's structural integrity has not been rated, but it is regularly inspected every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in February 2003. The dam's maximum discharge capacity is 930 cubic feet per second, making it a vital component for managing water resources in the area.
In case of emergencies, the dam has one valve outlet gate and is equipped with emergency action plans, although details on their preparation and revision dates are not provided. Overall, Oknoname 113117 serves as a key infrastructure for fire protection and water management in Osage County, Oklahoma, highlighting the importance of effective risk management and regular maintenance for water resource enthusiasts and climate advocates.

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.
