Summary
Built in 1930, this dam on TR-Rock Creek stands at a height of 18 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. It serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot.
Despite being classified as having an undetermined hazard potential and not having a current condition assessment, Oknoname 077009 is still considered to be at a very high risk, with a risk assessment rating of 1. The dam has one valve outlet gate and has not been modified in recent years. It is subject to state jurisdiction and regulation by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will be intrigued by the history and significance of Oknoname 077009, as well as the ongoing efforts to manage its risk and ensure its safety. The dam's location in a scenic area of Oklahoma adds to its appeal, making it a valuable site for those interested in studying the intersection of water management, infrastructure, and environmental policy. Further research and monitoring of Oknoname 077009 can provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities surrounding dam safety and water resource management in the region.

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.
