Summary
This earth dam, constructed in 1950, stands at a height of 15 feet and has a hydraulic height of 12 feet. It spans 550 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 124 acre-feet, with a spillway type classified as "Controlled".
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Oknoname 069004 has a low hazard potential and is deemed to be in very high risk due to its condition assessment being rated as "Not Rated". The dam is equipped with a single valve outlet gate and undergoes inspections every 5 years, with the last inspection dating back to July 2002. Despite its risk level, the dam has not had any emergency action plan prepared or updated, raising concerns among water resource and climate enthusiasts about the potential consequences in case of a failure.
Given its critical location along the LITTLE SANDY CR. river, the significance of Oknoname 069004 in water resource management cannot be understated. As it continues to be monitored by state regulatory agencies and the OWRB, stakeholders are urged to prioritize the development of comprehensive risk management measures and emergency response plans to ensure the safety and security of surrounding communities and the environment.

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.
