Summary
The dam, standing at a height of 33 feet with a hydraulic height of 29 feet, serves multiple purposes and has a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet. It is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Despite its low hazard potential, Selman Gp1 is considered to have a very high risk level, with a rating of 1. The dam features a controlled spillway and an outlet gate for water release. Its last inspection was conducted in August 2011, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years. The condition assessment of the dam is currently listed as "Not Rated," and there is no available information on emergency action plans or risk management measures.
Located along the TR-SAND CR river or stream, Selman Gp1 plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. With its stone core and soil foundation, the dam continues to provide essential water storage and flood control benefits for the surrounding community. As climate change impacts water resources, it is imperative to monitor and maintain infrastructure like Selman Gp1 to ensure its continued effectiveness and safety for years to come.

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.
