Bilbrey Cleo dam
Bilbrey Cleo
Bilbrey Cleo is a privately owned earth dam located in Jackson, Oklahoma, along the TR SALT FK RED RIVER. Completed in 1984, this dam stands at 25 feet high with a hydraulic height of 10 feet, providing a storage capacity of 95 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this structure is listed as 'Other', with a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Bilbrey Cleo is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot, outlet gates for water release, and is designed to withstand various weather conditions and potential emergencies. Although not currently rated for condition assessment, the dam's risk management measures are being closely monitored to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Bilbrey Cleo an intriguing structure given its unique design, purpose, and location within the Tulsa District of Oklahoma. As a key component in water management along the TR SALT FK RED RIVER, this dam plays a vital role in regulating water flow, storage, and potential risks in the region. With its state-regulated status and high-risk assessment, monitoring and maintenance efforts are essential to ensure the dam's continued functionality and safety for both the local community and surrounding ecosystems.

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 Bilbrey Cleo
Where does the data for Bilbrey Cleo 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.
