Completed in 1975, this dam stands at a height of 31 feet and has a storage capacity of 72 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a maximum discharge of 620 cubic feet per second, the dam is designed to withstand low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, this dam is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspections, and enforcement. Despite its remote location in the city of Hope, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management and flood control in the region. With a very high risk assessment rating of 1, it is essential for the owners to have emergency action plans in place to mitigate any potential risks associated with the dam.
Although the dam is not funded or owned by any federal agency, its presence highlights the importance of private ownership in maintaining critical water infrastructure. With its stone core and soil foundation, Oknoname 137040 serves as a vital structure for water storage and management in the Tulsa District. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to recognize the role of such dams in ensuring the sustainability and resilience of our water systems in the face of changing environmental conditions.
