Summary
Completed in 1960, this dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a storage capacity of 135 acre-feet. With a spillway type of "Controlled", Fletcher F has a low hazard potential but is still classified as a very high risk due to its location and other factors.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Fletcher F undergoes regular inspections and is regulated, permitted, and enforced by the state agency. Although the dam's condition assessment is not rated and its emergency action plan status is unknown, the risk management measures and inundation maps prepared for Fletcher F are currently unavailable. Despite these uncertainties, the dam serves a primary purpose other than flood control and continues to play a crucial role in water resource management in the region.
In the hands of private owners, Fletcher F is a key infrastructure for water storage and management in Oklahoma. With its strategic location and controlled spillway, the dam provides valuable water resource benefits while also posing a very high risk. As climate change continues to impact water availability and extreme weather events become more frequent, the maintenance and monitoring of dams like Fletcher F are essential for ensuring the safety and sustainability of our water resources.

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.
