Summary

Completed in 1970, this dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a capacity of 69 acre-feet. It serves various purposes, with a primary purpose classified as "Other," and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB). The dam has a controlled spillway type with a width of 1 foot and is equipped with a valve outlet gate.

Despite being categorized as having low hazard potential, Oknoname 141010 faces a high risk assessment rating due to its state of very high risk (1). The dam has been inspected every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in November 2010. The condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," and there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared. The dam's risk management measures, inundation maps, and emergency contacts are also not updated or in compliance with guidelines. Furthermore, the dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Overall, Oknoname 141010 presents an interesting case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the importance of proper dam management and the potential risks associated with outdated safety measures. As a privately owned structure with a significant capacity for water storage, it highlights the need for regular inspections, emergency preparedness, and adherence to regulatory guidelines to ensure the safety and integrity of such critical infrastructure in the face of changing environmental conditions and increasing risks.

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.
