Summary
Designed by USDA NRCS, this private irrigation dam on TR-WHITEGRASS CREEK is regulated by the OWRB and holds a storage capacity of 82 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of irrigation, the dam features an earth core and stone foundations, standing at 17 feet tall and 403 feet long.
Despite its low hazard potential and very high risk assessment rating, the Page dam has not been inspected since 1999, showcasing a need for updated risk management measures. With a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate, this structure plays a crucial role in water management in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and inspection of dams like Page are essential in ensuring the sustainability of water availability for irrigation and other purposes in Oklahoma.
As water enthusiasts and climate advocates, it is important to monitor the condition and management of dams like Page to uphold water security in the face of changing environmental conditions. By recognizing the role of structures like Page in water resource management, we can work towards sustainable practices that ensure the availability of water for irrigation and other needs in Bryan, Oklahoma, and beyond.

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.
