Summary
Land & Cattle Co. dam, located in Osage, Oklahoma, near the city of Personia, was completed in 1940 and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a hydraulic height of 25 feet with a storage capacity of 225 acre-feet. It serves the primary purpose of "Other" and is classified as low hazard potential with a very high risk assessment rating.
The dam, situated on TR-SAND CREEK, is equipped with a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate. Despite its age, the dam has not been rated for its condition and has not undergone recent inspection or assessment. The surrounding area of the dam has a surface area of 8 acres and a drainage area that is not specified, with a maximum discharge capacity of 70 cubic feet per second.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Okla. Land & Cattle Co. dam presents a unique case study in dam infrastructure in Oklahoma. With its historical significance, regulatory oversight, and risk assessment, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring of critical water infrastructure for the sustainability and safety of communities and ecosystems.

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.
