Completed in 1977, this 20-foot high structure has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and serves primarily for "Other" purposes. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
With a hazard potential rated as "Low" and a risk assessment indicating a "Very High (1)" risk, White Bob is a structure that demands attention from water resource and climate enthusiasts. Although the condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," the dam has not undergone any modifications since its completion, and the last inspection took place in 2011. The dam features a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate, with a maximum discharge capacity of 1522 cubic feet per second.
Despite its relatively low hazard potential, the high risk assessment of White Bob suggests that proactive risk management measures should be considered. With the dam located in a potentially high-risk area, it is essential for stakeholders to prioritize regular inspections, maintenance, and emergency preparedness. As a critical infrastructure supporting water resource management in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, White Bob serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and proactive risk mitigation in the face of changing climate conditions.
