Oknoname 113060 dam
Oknoname 113060
Oknoname 113060 is a privately owned dam located in Osage, Oklahoma, with a primary purpose classified as "Other." Built in 1950, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a hydraulic height of 15 feet, with a length of 350 feet. It has a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 60 acre-feet. The dam is regulated and permitted by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with inspection and enforcement measures in place to ensure its safety.
Situated on the TR-BOAR CR river/stream in the Tulsa District, the dam has a controlled spillway type with a width of 1 foot. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, it is also categorized as having a very high risk level. The structure has one outlet valve and has not been modified since its completion. The last inspection date was in 2011, with a recommended inspection frequency of every 5 years. With its unique characteristics and regulatory oversight, Oknoname 113060 presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
Overall, Oknoname 113060 serves as a significant feature in the water infrastructure of Osage, Oklahoma, providing valuable storage and flood control capabilities. Its design and construction details, along with its regulatory framework and risk assessment, offer insights into the management and maintenance of dams in the region. As a privately owned structure, it highlights the diverse ownership and regulatory landscape of water resources in the state, making it a noteworthy site for those interested in the intersection of water management, infrastructure development, and climate resilience.
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 113060
Where does the data for Oknoname 113060 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.
