Hulah Restocking Pd dam
Hulah Restocking Pd
Hulah Restocking Pd is a federal-owned earth dam located in Osage, Oklahoma, specifically in the city of WHIPPOORWILL along the COTTON CR. Completed in 1942, this dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a length of 1200 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, the dam also features a valve outlet gate for water release.
Despite its age, Hulah Restocking Pd has not been rated for its condition and has not undergone recent inspections. However, the risk assessment for this dam is very high, signaling a need for further evaluation and potential risk management measures. With a maximum discharge of 2000 cubic feet per second, the dam serves multiple purposes, although the specifics of its design and construction remain unclear. As a key water resource structure in the area, Hulah Restocking Pd plays a crucial role in managing water levels and protecting against potential flooding events.
Given its location in a high-risk area and the lack of recent assessments, stakeholders and climate enthusiasts should monitor the condition of Hulah Restocking Pd closely. With the potential for increased climate variability and extreme weather events, ensuring the safety and reliability of this dam is essential for water resource management and community resilience. Collaboration between federal agencies and local authorities will be crucial in addressing any potential risks associated with this important water infrastructure.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Hulah Restocking Pd
Where does the data for Hulah Restocking Pd come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
