Summary

This dam, standing at 20 feet in height and 300 feet in length, serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other." It has a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 500 cubic feet per second. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is subject to state jurisdiction and permitting, inspection, and enforcement.

The structure, situated on Tucker Creek, is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. While its hazard potential is currently classified as "Undetermined" and its condition assessment is "Not Rated," the risk assessment for Oknoname 113007 indicates a very high risk level. Despite not being managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam poses a significant risk and may require further assessment and management measures to ensure its safety and functionality in the face of climate variability and water resource challenges.

As a crucial component of the local water management infrastructure, Oknoname 113007 plays a vital role in flood control and water supply for the surrounding area. With its unique design and historical significance, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water resource management practices in the face of a changing climate. Continued monitoring and maintenance of this structure will be essential to mitigate potential risks and ensure its long-term resilience in the face of climate-related challenges.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
