Summary
Standing at a height of 25 feet and stretching 375 feet in length, this earth dam holds a maximum storage capacity of 160 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Wildhorse Creek, it is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is subject to state inspection, permitting, and enforcement.
Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and a high risk rating, Oknoname 047005 has not been assessed for its condition and does not have an emergency action plan in place. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and is equipped with a single valve outlet gate. While it has not undergone recent modifications or inspections, it remains a critical component in mitigating flood risks in the area.
With its strategic location and vital role in flood risk reduction, Oknoname 047005 serves as a significant infrastructure in protecting the Grant County, Oklahoma region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to monitor and support the maintenance and management of such structures to ensure the safety and security of communities downstream.

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.
