Summary
Built in 1984, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 36 feet and has a storage capacity of 160 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate, this dam is regulated and inspected by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring its safe operation and maintenance.
Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, Kelly Tom is considered to have a very high risk due to its location and potential impact on the surrounding area. Although the dam's condition is currently not rated, it undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity. The dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and inundation maps are currently not available, highlighting the need for further safety measures and preparedness in case of emergencies.
Overall, Kelly Tom serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other", highlighting its importance in managing water resources and mitigating potential flood risks in the area. With its stone core and soil foundation, this dam plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and providing storage capacity for the surrounding community. As an enthusiast for water resource management and climate resilience, keeping a close eye on the safety and maintenance of structures like Kelly Tom is essential for ensuring the long-term sustainability of our water infrastructure.

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.
