Oknoname 113037 dam
Oknoname 113037
Oknoname 113037 is a privately owned dam located in Osage, Oklahoma, along the Butler Creek. Constructed in 1964, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet with a length of 500 feet, providing a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. With a spillway width of 1 foot and a maximum discharge of 3000 cubic feet per second, this dam serves a primary purpose other than flood control or irrigation, making it a unique structure in the area.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 113037 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Despite its age, this dam undergoes regular inspections every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in August 2006. The risk assessment for this dam categorizes it as having a very high risk level, indicating the need for potential risk management measures to ensure its continued safety and functionality in the face of changing climate conditions.
While Oknoname 113037 may not be widely recognized, its significance lies in its role as a privately owned structure contributing to water resource management in the region. As climate change impacts intensify, the maintenance and monitoring of such dams become crucial in safeguarding communities and ecosystems downstream. With its strategic location and state-regulated status, Oknoname 113037 serves as a testament to the intricate relationship between water resources, infrastructure, and climate resilience 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 113037
Where does the data for Oknoname 113037 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.
