Summary
Built in 1960, this dam primarily serves the purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-LEADER CR River. With a height of 30 feet and a length of 650 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and a surface area of 11 acres.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 029001 has a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk level, indicating the need for careful monitoring and management. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in 2010, with a recommended inspection frequency of every 5 years.
Located in the city of TUPELO, Oknoname 029001 is under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma state regulatory agency and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With its strategic location and critical role in flood risk reduction, this dam serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring its condition to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment.

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.
