Oknoname 031008, located in Comanche, Oklahoma, is a privately owned earth dam constructed in 1972 with a primary purpose of "Other." The dam, standing at 23 feet in height and 350 feet in length, serves as a crucial water resource structure along TR-BEAVER CREEK, with a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet.

Despite being regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and deemed low in hazard potential, the dam poses a very high risk due to its age and lack of recent condition assessments.
The dam features a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and a stone core foundation on soil. While the dam's risk assessment is rated as very high, its condition is currently not rated due to the absence of recent inspections. The last inspection took place in September 2010, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. With its location in Cox Corner and under the jurisdiction of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Oknoname 031008 remains a significant structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor closely.
