Summary
Completed in 1940, this dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 70 acre-feet. The dam spans a length of 400 feet and has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 13096 is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement. While the hazard potential is currently classified as "undetermined," the risk assessment for this dam is very high, with a risk ranking of 1. Emergency action plans, condition assessments, and inundation maps for this dam have not been updated or prepared, indicating a potential need for further risk management measures and guidelines to be implemented.
Despite the lack of recent inspections and assessments, Oknoname 13096 remains a critical water resource infrastructure in the region, serving as a vital water supply source for the community of Tonkawa. With its strategic location on the TR-DEER CR river/stream and its history of supporting the area since 1940, this dam plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in Kay County, Oklahoma.

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.
