Summary

Built in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 45 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 371 acre-feet. The dam serves various purposes, with a primary use designated as "Other". It is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and safety.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 127009 is considered to have a very high risk level according to risk assessment data. This controlled spillway dam on the TR-Kiamichi River has a maximum discharge capacity of 3270 cubic feet per second. With a single outlet gate, this structure spans a length of 700 feet and is predominantly constructed with stone core and soil foundations. The dam is in good condition, as it has not been rated for any deficiencies, and its Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status remains unreported.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts are sure to find Oknoname 127009 an intriguing case study, given its unique design features, regulatory oversight, and risk assessment profile. As an important part of the water infrastructure in Oklahoma, this privately owned dam plays a vital role in managing water resources and mitigating potential hazards in the region. Its location near the TR-Kiamichi River adds to its ecological significance, making it a focal point for conservation efforts and sustainable water management practices in the area.

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.
