Summary
No.3, located in Washington County, Oklahoma, is a privately owned earth dam completed in 1972. Standing at a height of 35 feet, with a hydraulic height of 32 feet, the dam serves as a critical structure for water resource management along the Hogshooter Creek. With a storage capacity of 245 acre-feet and a surface area of 16 acres, the dam plays a significant role in flood control and water storage in the region.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Dutcher D.B. No.3 has a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. Although the dam's condition has not been officially rated, it undergoes inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Equipped with valve gates for water release and a controlled spillway, the dam is designed to efficiently manage water flow and prevent potential flooding in the area.
With its primary purpose being classified as "Other," Dutcher D.B. No.3 is a vital component of the water infrastructure in Washington County. Despite not being federally owned or funded, the dam's role in water management and flood control highlights its importance in mitigating risks and ensuring the safety of surrounding communities.

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.
