Completed in 1950, this structure stands at a height of 30 feet with a hydraulic height of 24 feet and a length of 420 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 225 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 120 acre-feet. It is primarily used for purposes other than flood control or water supply, and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 113063 poses a very high risk according to the data, which ranks its risk assessment as 1. The dam has one valve outlet gate and a controlled spillway, with a maximum discharge capacity of 1240 cubic feet per second. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in August 2006, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. The condition assessment of the structure is listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation.
While the dam's risk assessment may raise concerns among water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential for the responsible regulatory agency, in this case the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, to continue monitoring and managing the structure to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the integrity of the dam. With its location on TR-Bull Creek and its proximity to Skiatook, Oknoname 113063 serves as a critical piece of infrastructure that requires ongoing attention and maintenance to mitigate potential risks and protect the environment and residents downstream.
