Summary
Completed in 1978, this dam stands at a height of 28 feet with a hydraulic height of 22 feet and a length of 475 feet. With a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet, it serves as a crucial structure in managing water flow and reducing flood risks in the region. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 149003 is classified as having a very high risk level, requiring close monitoring and risk management measures. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water control. While its condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam has a history of meeting regulatory guidelines and inspections. In the event of an emergency, the dam's emergency action plan is being developed to ensure proper response and coordination with relevant authorities.
With a congressman like Frank D. Lucas (R) representing the area, Oknoname 149003 plays a vital role in protecting the local community from potential flooding events. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the intricate details of this dam showcase the careful planning and engineering that go into managing water resources and mitigating the impacts of extreme weather events. It stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water infrastructure in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the growing challenges of climate change.

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.
