Summary
Built in 1985 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a length of 530 feet, providing a storage capacity of 96 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, this structure is regulated and inspected by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to ensure its safety and compliance with state standards.
Despite its relatively small surface area of 5 acres and drainage area of 0.3 square miles, Cable Floyd plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. It features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release, with a maximum discharge capacity of 246 cubic feet per second. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unspecified, raising questions about its readiness for potential hazards.
Overall, Cable Floyd serves as a vital component of the water infrastructure in the area, contributing to flood control, water storage, and environmental conservation efforts. As a privately owned structure with state jurisdiction and regulatory oversight, its importance in safeguarding the surrounding community and ecosystem underscores the need for ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and risk assessment to ensure its continued effectiveness and safety in the face of changing climate conditions.

Dam Data Reference
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.
