Summary

Built in 1975, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 69 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is associated with the TR-MURRAY CR river/stream. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment for Oknoname 137038 rates it as very high (1), highlighting the importance of proper risk management measures.

Owned by a private entity, Oknoname 137038 is under the regulatory oversight of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam features a controlled spillway type and a single valve outlet gate. Its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," with the last inspection conducted in September 2011. The surrounding area covers a surface area of 4 acres, making it a crucial component of the local water resource infrastructure.

Overall, Oknoname 137038 plays a vital role in water management within Stephens County, Oklahoma. With its strategic location and functional design, this dam contributes to flood control and water storage for the region. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the engineering and regulatory aspects that ensure the safety and effectiveness of this essential structure for the community.

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.
