Summary
Built in 1977 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at 30 feet high and has a hydraulic height of 28 feet, with a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet. It serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB).
The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and is equipped with one valve outlet gate. Despite being classified as having a "Low" hazard potential, Huser Stanley is considered to have a very high risk level, with a DSAC-assigned risk rating of 1. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in August 2011, with an inspection frequency of 5 years, and its condition is currently listed as "Not Rated."
Located in the Tulsa District, Huser Stanley is a vital structure for water resource management in the area. With its stone core and soil foundation, this dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water storage along the Canadian River. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate change will find Huser Stanley to be an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure and risk management in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
