Oknoname 113075 dam
Oknoname 113075
Oknoname 113075 is a privately owned dam located in Osage County, Oklahoma, specifically in the city of Pawhuska. It was completed in 1950 and serves the primary purpose of "Other", with a dam type classified as Earth. The dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a hydraulic height of 20 feet, with a length of 400 feet and a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes regular inspections, with the last inspection taking place in June 2003.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 113075 is considered to have a very high risk level (1) according to the data provided. The dam has a controlled spillway type and features one valve for outlet gates. While the condition assessment is not rated, the dam has not been modified in recent years and is structurally sound. The risk assessment for the dam indicates the need for effective risk management measures to mitigate potential threats to the surrounding area, particularly considering its location on the Turkey Creek.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in the region may find Oknoname 113075 to be of interest due to its historical significance and the complex regulatory framework that governs its operations. The dam plays a vital role in managing water resources and preventing flooding in the area, highlighting the importance of maintaining infrastructure to ensure the safety and well-being of local communities. As discussions around climate change and water management continue to evolve, the data provided for Oknoname 113075 offers valuable insights into the challenges and responsibilities associated with owning and regulating dams in Oklahoma.

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 Oknoname 113075
Where does the data for Oknoname 113075 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.
