Summary

Completed in 1955, this dam on West Barnitz Creek stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose classified as 'Other', with a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating of 1.

Managed by the OWRB and regulated by the state of Oklahoma, Oknoname 039002 is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve for outlet gates. Despite not having a current condition assessment, the dam has undergone inspections every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in June 2004. The dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness status are currently unspecified, but its location within the Tulsa District of the USACE indicates a level of federal oversight. Enthusiasts of water resource and climate data will find Oknoname 039002 to be an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure and regulatory practices, particularly in the context of Oklahoma's water management strategies.

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.
