Summary

Completed in 1960, this dam on the TR-Wildhorse Creek serves a primary purpose that falls under the category of "Other." The dam has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 20 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 1470 cubic feet per second. It features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a hazard potential rated as low and a very high risk assessment.

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 039001 is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement. Despite being in good condition and not rated for inspection, the dam has a high level of risk associated with it. The surrounding area of McClure is situated within the Tulsa District and falls under the jurisdiction of the state, with Congressman Frank D. Lucas representing the district. While the dam does not have a federal agency owner or funding, it meets state permitting requirements and has an established Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place.

This dam serves as a crucial component of water resource management in the region, highlighting the importance of monitoring and maintaining infrastructure to mitigate risks associated with potential hazards. As water resource and climate enthusiasts track the developments of Oknoname 039001, it is essential to prioritize safety measures and adhere to regulatory standards to ensure the continued protection of the community and surrounding environment.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
