Summary
is a private dam located in Stephens, Oklahoma, along the TR BLACK BEAR CREEK. Built in 1965, this Earth-type dam stands at 35 feet high and has a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet. The dam serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other," with a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Beavers C.E. is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Although the dam has not been inspected since 2011, it is listed as being in "Not Rated" condition. Despite the lack of recent maintenance assessments, the risk management measures for this dam are not specified, suggesting a potential area of concern for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
Located in a rural area near COUNTY LINE, Beavers C.E. is under state jurisdiction and regulation. With the potential for a maximum discharge of 620 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and storage in the region. As the risk assessment for this structure remains high, continued monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure the safety and efficiency of Beavers C.E. for both the local community and the surrounding environment.

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.
