Daniels C.M.
Wind
Humidity
is a privately owned dam located in Harrisburg, Oklahoma, along the TR EAST MUD CREEK. Built in 1970, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a hydraulic height of 20 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 61 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 644 cubic feet per second. Despite being categorized as a low hazard potential structure, Daniels C.M. is considered to have a very high risk due to its condition assessment not being rated.
The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and has state jurisdiction, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. While the last inspection took place in September 2011 with a frequency of every 5 years, the condition assessment remains unrated. With a controlled spillway type and a single valve outlet gate, Daniels C.M. continues to serve its primary purpose as an Earth dam for water resource management in Stephens County, Oklahoma.
Although the risk assessment for Daniels C.M. is very high, the dam meets state regulatory guidelines, and emergency action plans have not been prepared or updated. With a risk management plan yet to be established, there is a need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and stability of this important water resource infrastructure. Despite its age, the dam continues to play a crucial role in water management for the local area, demonstrating the importance of proactive risk management for climate and water resource enthusiasts.
