Oknoname 127003 dam
Oknoname 127003
Oknoname 127003, located in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma, is a privately owned earth dam with a height of 18 feet and a hydraulic height of 14 feet. Completed in 1920, this dam serves as a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in the area, with a storage capacity of 71 acre-feet and a surface area of 4 acres. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
The primary purpose of Oknoname 127003 is classified as "Other", with a controlled spillway type and a single valve outlet gate. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of proper risk management measures. The surrounding area is at risk of inundation in the event of a breach, highlighting the need for emergency preparedness and communication strategies. Overall, Oknoname 127003 plays a significant role in the local water infrastructure and requires constant monitoring to mitigate potential risks.
With a designated inspection frequency of 5 years and a condition assessment of "Not Rated", there is a need for further evaluation and maintenance to ensure the long-term safety and functionality of Oknoname 127003. The dam's association with the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers underscores its importance in the regional water management system. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is imperative to prioritize the upkeep and modernization of dams like Oknoname 127003 to adapt to evolving environmental conditions and safeguard the surrounding communities.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Oknoname 127003
Where does the data for Oknoname 127003 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
