Summary
is a private earth dam located in Tillman, Oklahoma, specifically in the city of SLSF RR Bridge, on the TR Deadman Creek. Built in 1950, this structure stands at a height of 20 feet and has a hydraulic height of 18 feet. With a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet, it serves a primary purpose classified as "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
Despite its low hazard potential, Bradley J.D. poses a very high risk due to its condition assessment being labeled as "Not Rated." The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, suggesting a basic design for water control. However, the structure has not been inspected since November 2010, with an inspection frequency of 5 years, raising concerns about its current state and safety measures in place.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Bradley J.D. presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam in Oklahoma with a high risk potential. Its location, design specifications, and lack of recent inspections highlight the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of such essential water infrastructure.

Dam Data Reference
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.
