Oknoname 113061 dam
Oknoname 113061
Oknoname 113061 is a privately owned earth dam located in Osage, Oklahoma, with a primary purpose classified as "other." Completed in 1950, this dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 180 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is subject to state inspection and enforcement. It is situated along the TR-PENN CR river/stream and falls under the jurisdiction of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
With a hazard potential rated as low and a condition assessment listed as "not rated," Oknoname 113061 has a very high risk assessment ranking of 1. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and a valve outlet gate. The last inspection conducted on this dam was in September 2011, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk management measures and emergency action plans for this dam appear to be lacking, with no specific details provided in the data.
Overall, Oknoname 113061 presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its unique attributes and location in Oklahoma. With a history dating back to the mid-20th century, this dam serves as a reminder of the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety and reliability of critical water infrastructure. Further research and analysis may be needed to fully understand the risk factors associated with this dam and to develop comprehensive risk management strategies to address any potential vulnerabilities.
Dam data reference
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 113061
Where does the data for Oknoname 113061 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.
