Summary

The dam, constructed in 1977, serves the primary purpose of "Other" and is categorized as an Earth dam with a Stone core and soil foundation. It stands at a height of 20 feet and has a hydraulic height of 17 feet, with a structural height matching the dam height. The dam has a length of 580 feet and a storage capacity of 66 acre-feet.

The dam sits on TR Claridy Creek and is under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB). It has been designated as a low hazard potential structure with a very high risk assessment rating. The dam features a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and has undergone inspections every five years, with the last inspection conducted in June 2005. Despite being in a satisfactory condition, the dam has not been rated for its current state.

Overall, Oknoname 137013 is a crucial infrastructure in managing water resources in the area, providing flood control and water storage capabilities. Its location, construction details, and regulatory oversight contribute to its significance in ensuring water security and safety for the surrounding communities.

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. 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

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, 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.
