Summary
is a privately owned dam located in Stephens, Oklahoma, specifically on the TR Little Beaver Creek near the ST HWY 7 BRIDGE. Constructed in 1960, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 69 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Despite its age, Frederick J.E. has been maintained and inspected regularly, with the last inspection taking place in August 2011. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is under state jurisdiction. In the event of an emergency, there are measures in place to mitigate risks, as the dam has been identified as having a very high risk level.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Frederick J.E. serves as a valuable infrastructure for water management in the region. Its presence along TR Little Beaver Creek not only helps regulate water flow but also contributes to flood control and irrigation purposes. With its low hazard potential and state-regulated status, Frederick J.E. stands as an important asset in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in the area.

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.
