Summary

Built in 1930, this dam stands at a height of 20 feet with a hydraulic height of 16 feet and a length of 300 feet. It has a storage capacity of 132 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 744 cubic feet per second. Storrie serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Storrie poses a very high risk in terms of its risk assessment. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there is no information available regarding emergency action plans or inundation maps prepared for the area. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and a single valve outlet gate. Although there have been no recent inspections reported since May 2011, Storrie remains under state regulation and jurisdiction, with the necessary measures in place to address any potential issues that may arise.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Storrie presents an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure management and risk assessment. With its historical significance dating back to the early 20th century, the dam continues to provide vital water storage and control along the TR-BRUSHY CR stream. As discussions around dam safety and resilience grow in importance, Storrie serves as a focal point for understanding the complexities of managing water resources in a changing climate landscape.

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.
