Summary

Completed in 1939, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a length of 300 feet, with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is subject to regular inspections, with the last inspection conducted in August 2006.

Situated on TR-MISSION CR in the city of HERD, Oknoname 113016 has a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential. Despite being ungraded in terms of condition assessment, the dam is considered to have a very high risk level, indicating the need for vigilant risk management measures. With a single valve outlet gate and a maximum discharge capacity of 500 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 113016 presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam in Oklahoma. With its unique design features and regulatory framework, the dam offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with managing water infrastructure in a changing climate. As efforts to enhance dam safety and resilience continue to evolve, Oknoname 113016 serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive risk management and emergency preparedness in safeguarding critical water resources for future generations.

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.
