Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 40 feet and a length of 310 feet, was completed in 1967 and serves as a vital structure for water resource management in the area. The dam has a primary purpose of 'Other' and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.
With a maximum storage capacity of 200 acre-feet and a normal storage of 120 acre-feet, Okla Land & Cattle Co plays a crucial role in flood control and water supply for the local community. The spillway type is controlled, with a spillway width of 1 foot, and the hazard potential is rated as low. Despite being assessed as 'Not Rated' for condition, the dam has a very high risk assessment of 1, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality.
Overall, Okla Land & Cattle Co is a significant infrastructure asset in the region, providing essential water management services and contributing to the overall resilience of the water resource system. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to recognize the importance of dams like Okla Land & Cattle Co in supporting sustainable water management practices and mitigating risks associated with flooding and water scarcity.

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.
