Summary
This earth dam, completed in 1960, stands at a height of 29 feet and has a storage capacity of 210 acre-feet. The dam spans a length of 615 feet and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state jurisdiction and permitting in place. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this dam poses a very high risk due to its structural design and age.
The dam is situated on TR-SPRING CR and is under the supervision of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite being categorized as a low hazard dam, Oknoname 125013 has a very high risk assessment, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and maintenance. The dam's condition is currently not rated, with the last inspection conducted in May 2011. It is equipped with a single valve outlet gate and has not been modified in recent years. The risk management measures, emergency action plan, and inundation maps for the dam are not readily available, indicating a potential gap in preparedness for potential emergencies.
As an important infrastructure for water resource management in the region, Oknoname 125013 serves as a crucial component for flood control and water storage. With its state-regulated status and high-risk assessment, it is imperative that regular inspections and maintenance activities are carried out to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find this dam's unique characteristics and risk profile to be of interest in understanding the complex interplay between infrastructure, climate change, and water management in Oklahoma.

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.
