Robinson Jerry D dam
Robinson Jerry D
Located in McCurtain County, Oklahoma, the Robinson Jerry D dam stands as a testament to private ownership and state regulation. Built in 1940, this earth dam spans 500 feet in length and reaches a height of 18 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 89 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is listed as "Other," and it serves as a crucial structure on the TR-PUSH CR river or stream.
State-regulated and inspected, the Robinson Jerry D dam boasts a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential. Though its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the dam's risk assessment is classified as "Very High (1)." With a maximum discharge of 1240 cubic feet per second and emergency contact information updated as of 2010, this dam is a key feature in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Robinson Jerry D dam offers a fascinating case study in private ownership, state regulation, and risk management in the face of changing environmental conditions. With its stone core and soil foundation, this dam plays a vital role in water storage and flood control on the TR-PUSH CR waterway. As discussions around infrastructure resilience and emergency preparedness continue to gain importance, the Robinson Jerry D dam stands as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to safeguard our water resources and communities in the face of potential hazards.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Robinson Jerry D
Where does the data for Robinson Jerry D come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
