Summary
Built in 1935, this Earth dam structure stands at a height of 20 feet, with a hydraulic height of 14 feet and a length of 465 feet. The pond has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 20 acre-feet and a surface area of 5 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential, Lanes Curve Pond plays a crucial role in the region's water management system, regulating the flow of Tri-Little Greenleaf Creek and providing a habitat for various aquatic species. The pond's spillway, with a width of 15 feet, is uncontrolled, allowing excess water to safely discharge and prevent flooding downstream. While the pond's condition assessment is currently not available, its risk assessment is moderate, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Lanes Curve Pond offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of human infrastructure and natural ecosystems. With its rich history, diverse wildlife population, and recreational opportunities, this Federal-owned pond showcases the importance of sustainable water management practices in preserving our environment for future generations. Whether you're interested in fishing, wildlife observation, or simply enjoying the beauty of Oklahoma's landscape, Lanes Curve Pond is a must-visit destination that embodies the harmony between man-made structures and the natural world.

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.
