Summary
Built in 1950, this Earth dam stands at 15 feet tall and stretches 425 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB).
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Okla Land & Cattle Co is considered to have a very high risk level, with a risk assessment rating of 1. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and the last inspection date was in 2011. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate with a single valve. While the dam has not undergone any modifications in recent years, it is subject to regular inspections and enforcement by the state regulatory agency.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts would find Okla Land & Cattle Co an intriguing structure to study, given its historical significance and the potential risks associated with its operation. With its location in Osage, Oklahoma, and its presence along TR-BIRD CREEK, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. Its unique design and construction details, such as the use of stone core and soil foundation, add to the appeal for those interested in understanding the intersection of infrastructure and environmental impact.

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.
