Summary
Managed by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet and was completed in 1982. With a storage capacity of 182 acre-feet, Pyeatt Jh serves various purposes beyond flood control, making it a valuable resource for the surrounding community.
Situated along the TR-DEER CR stream, Pyeatt Jh has a low hazard potential and is classified as being in very high risk due to its critical importance for water management in the region. Despite not being regularly rated for its condition, the dam is inspected every five years to ensure its structural integrity. Equipped with a controlled spillway and one outlet valve, Pyeatt Jh plays a crucial role in managing water flow and storage, contributing to the overall climate resilience of the area.
With its stone core and soil foundation, Pyeatt Jh exemplifies the collaborative efforts between private owners and government agencies to sustainably manage water resources in Oklahoma. Supported by the OWRB and designed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of effective water infrastructure for climate adaptation and mitigation efforts in the region.

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.
