Summary
Managed by the USDA NRCS, this Earth type dam stands at a height of 22 feet and spans 800 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 220 acre-feet and a surface area of 35 acres, Al Salyer serves as a recreational spot for locals and a habitat for various wildlife.
Situated on TR-Buckhead Creek in the Tulsa District, Al Salyer boasts a spillway width of 70 feet and a low hazard potential. Despite not being state-regulated, this pond offers moderate risk management measures and a picturesque landscape for visitors to enjoy. With a primary purpose of supporting fish and wildlife, Al Salyer plays a crucial role in enhancing biodiversity and providing a serene environment for nature enthusiasts and climate advocates to appreciate.
Although not currently inspected or rated for its condition, Al Salyer remains a valuable resource for the community, offering opportunities for recreation and wildlife conservation. Its non-federal ownership and minimal regulatory oversight highlight the importance of private stewardship in managing water resources and promoting environmental sustainability in Oklahoma.

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.
