Summary
The dam, standing at a height of 31 feet and having a hydraulic height of 24 feet, serves as a structure on the TR Red River under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. With a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 1,722 cubic feet per second, the dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 067016 is considered to have a very high risk due to its condition assessment being "Not Rated". The dam has not been inspected since November 2010, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While emergency action and risk management measures are not specified, the dam's risk assessment indicates a high level of urgency for potential mitigation efforts. With Congressman Tom Cole representing the area, the dam's status and safety measures are crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor closely.
In a picturesque setting near Belleville, the dam's presence on the TR Red River adds to the water resource landscape of Oklahoma. As enthusiasts and stakeholders in water management and climate resilience, understanding the state-regulated and state-permitted aspects of Oknoname 067016 is vital for ensuring the safety and sustainability of the surrounding communities and ecosystems. With the dam's history, design, and operational details at hand, there is a call for continued inspection, maintenance, and potential upgrades to mitigate the identified high-risk factors and safeguard the dam's integrity for the future.

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.
