Summary
Built in 1940, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet with a hydraulic height of 18 feet, serving primarily for purposes classified as "Other." The dam has a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 25 acre-feet, providing flood control for the TR-DOE CR river or stream.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Oknoname Ok13093 has a low hazard potential and is considered to have a very high risk assessment rating. The dam features a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and has a maximum discharge capacity of 875 cubic feet per second. Although last inspected in 2011, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated. Despite its age, the dam continues to play a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
With its historical significance and ongoing contributions to water management in the area, Oknoname Ok13093 stands as a testament to the importance of maintaining and monitoring our water infrastructure. As climate change continues to pose challenges to our water resources, the careful oversight and regulation of dams like Ok13093 are vital in ensuring the safety and sustainability of our communities. Through collaboration between private owners, state agencies, and federal regulators, this dam exemplifies the collective effort needed to safeguard our water supply for future generations.

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.
