Summary
This earth dam, constructed in 1950, stands at a height of 60 feet and has a hydraulic height of 50 feet. It spans 1200 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 2000 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the Little Rock Creek and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state jurisdiction and permitting in place.
With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, Clyde is equipped with a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate. Although the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, it undergoes inspections every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in August 2006. Despite its risk profile, Clyde serves as an important structure for water resource management in the region, supporting a normal storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and providing flood control measures for the surrounding area.
As a key element in the water infrastructure of Osage County, Oklahoma, Clyde plays a crucial role in managing the flow of the Little Rock Creek and ensuring water security for the community. With state-regulated operations and enforcement in place, the dam continues to fulfill its primary purpose of water management effectively. Its strategic location in Fite, along with its sturdy earth construction and stone core, make Clyde a notable structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the sustainable management of water systems.

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.
