Oknoname 137058 dam
Oknoname 137058
Located in Stephens County, Oklahoma, Oknoname 137058 is a privately owned earth dam constructed in 1975 with a primary purpose classified as "Other". Standing at a height of 28 feet, this dam on TR North Mud Creek has a normal storage capacity of 46 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 92 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment for this structure is very high, warranting close monitoring and potential risk management measures.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Oknoname 137058 is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam features a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the last inspection in 2011 deemed the structure in satisfactory condition. With a drainage area of 1 square mile and a maximum discharge of 1456 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.
Although lacking a designated emergency action plan (EAP), the risk associated with Oknoname 137058 is deemed very high, necessitating a proactive approach to risk management. With a history of state oversight and compliance, this earth dam serves as a vital component of the local water infrastructure. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and monitoring of structures like Oknoname 137058 are essential for ensuring public safety and resource sustainability in the face of evolving environmental challenges.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Oknoname 137058
Where does the data for Oknoname 137058 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
