Summary

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. 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.
