Summary

This Earth-type dam was completed in 1940 and has a height of 35 feet, with a hydraulic height of 30 feet. The dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other", with a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet and a normal storage of 75 acre-feet.

The dam is situated on the TR Bear Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the state of Oklahoma. It has a controlled spillway type with a spillway width of 1 foot. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for Oknonameok13116 is very high, with a DSAC assigned risk level of 1. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in August 1999, with an inspection frequency of 5 years.

Overall, Oknonameok13116 is a significant structure in the region, providing water resource management and flood control benefits. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find this dam's detailed information and risk assessment data particularly intriguing for further study and analysis.

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. 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

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, 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.
