Summary

Completed in 1957, this Earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet, with a maximum discharge of 600 cubic feet per second. The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a controlled spillway type with a width of 1 foot.

Despite being considered low-hazard and not yet rated in terms of condition assessment, Spur Ranch poses a very high risk, according to the data. The dam is under state regulation and inspection by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring its safety and compliance with state laws and guidelines. The last inspection was conducted in December 2010, with inspections scheduled every five years.

With its strategic location in the Tulsa District and the potential impact on the surrounding area, Spur Ranch plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Oklahoma. Enthusiasts interested in water resources and climate change can appreciate the significance of this dam in protecting the local community from flood risks and ensuring sustainable water management practices in the region.

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.
