Built in 1975, this Earth-type dam stands at 27 feet high and has a hydraulic height of 22 feet. With a storage capacity of 89 acre-feet, it serves multiple purposes and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. Despite its low hazard potential, it is categorized as having a very high risk due to its condition assessment not being rated and lacking an emergency action plan.
With a controlled spillway and one valve for outlet gates, Oknoname 137009 has a maximum discharge capacity of 2599 cubic feet per second. The dam has not been modified over the years and has a regular inspection frequency of 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in August 2011. Although it meets state permitting and inspection requirements, it lacks important emergency preparedness measures such as an updated Emergency Action Plan, which could mitigate the high risk associated with its condition assessment and potential hazard level. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring and addressing the risk factors of Oknoname 137009 is crucial for ensuring the safety and sustainability of the surrounding environment.
