Summary
With a height of 20 feet and a length of 400 feet, this earth dam was completed in 1965 and serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other." The dam has a storage capacity of 66 acre-feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 1116 cubic feet per second, with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.
Despite being rated as a low hazard potential structure, Oknoname 137035 is considered to have a very high risk level due to unspecified factors. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The most recent inspection of the dam took place in September 2011, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years. While the condition of the dam is currently listed as "Not Rated," it is important to note that the emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures for this structure are not specified.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the engineering and regulatory aspects of dams in Oklahoma will find Oknoname 137035 to be a fascinating case study. This privately owned earth dam, with stone core and soil foundation, represents a piece of water infrastructure with a unique history and operational profile. As concerns over climate change and extreme weather events continue to grow, understanding the risk and management strategies associated with dams like Oknoname 137035 becomes increasingly important for ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region.

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.
