Summary
The pond serves various purposes, including storage and flood control, with a normal storage capacity of 45 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. The dam has a controlled spillway type and a low hazard potential, making it a relatively safe structure in terms of potential risks.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Ol Fisher Pond is inspected regularly, with the last inspection conducted in May 2011. The structure is in good condition and meets regulatory requirements, with a very high risk assessment rating of 1. Despite its age, the dam remains a vital resource for the surrounding area, serving as a key component in managing water resources and mitigating the impacts of extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods. With its strategic location on the TR-Verdigris River, Ol Fisher Pond plays a crucial role in maintaining water quality and availability in the region.
Overall, Ol Fisher Pond stands as a testament to effective water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Oklahoma. As a privately-owned structure with state jurisdiction and regulatory oversight, the dam exemplifies the importance of maintaining and assessing infrastructure to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources. With its low hazard potential and well-maintained condition, Ol Fisher Pond remains a valuable asset for the community, providing essential water storage and flood control capabilities in a region prone to weather-related challenges.

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.
