Summary
The dam, constructed in 1970, stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 150 acre-feet. It is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes regular inspections, with a low hazard potential rating. The dam is situated on Scanlon Creek and falls under the jurisdiction of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 113101 poses a very high risk due to its age and the lack of a condition assessment. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status is unknown, raising concerns about its readiness in case of a potential failure. With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, the dam's structural integrity and risk management measures remain unspecified. The dam's risk assessment and management protocols require further evaluation to ensure the safety and reliability of this water resource in the face of changing climate conditions.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 113101 serves as a case study in the importance of proactive dam maintenance and risk mitigation strategies. As climate change continues to impact water infrastructure, the need for robust inspection, assessment, and emergency preparedness measures becomes increasingly urgent. The future of Oknoname 113101, and other similar dams, hinges on effective monitoring, maintenance, and investment in resilient water management practices to safeguard both the environment and surrounding communities from potential risks.

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.
