Summary
Completed in 1979, the earth dam stands at 23 feet high with a storage capacity of 363 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is irrigation, serving the surrounding area with a normal storage capacity of 176 acre-feet.
With a spillway type of "Controlled" and a low hazard potential, Boatner is a crucial water resource structure for managing water flow and storage in the region. Despite being classified as not rated in terms of condition assessment, the dam's risk assessment is marked as very high, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety and efficiency of the structure. The dam features one valve outlet gate and has a maximum discharge capacity of 2033 cubic feet per second.
Boatner's location in ROMIA, Oklahoma, under the jurisdiction of the Fort Worth District, highlights its significance in water resource management. With the potential to mitigate water-related risks and support agricultural irrigation, this dam serves as a vital component of the local infrastructure and underscores the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate patterns.

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.
