Summary
Completed in 1970, this dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 140 acre-feet. The dam, constructed with stone core and soil foundation, spans 1000 feet in length and covers a surface area of 10 acres. It is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and has state jurisdiction for permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 015008 has a very high risk assessment rating, indicating the need for careful risk management measures. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in November 2001, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's risk assessment highlights the importance of ensuring its safety and stability for the surrounding community and environment. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Oknoname 015008 an intriguing structure to explore and study in the context of sustainable water management practices.

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.
