Summary

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. 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

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, 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.
