Summary

The dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. It was completed in 1984 and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.

The dam is situated on TR-Eagle Chief Creek, within the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. It has a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, with a very high risk assessment rating. The structure features a stone core and a soil foundation, with a single valve outlet gate. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it underwent its last inspection in August 2006, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Clark Bud & Lorina presents an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure management and risk assessment. With its unique design features and regulatory oversight, this dam serves as a vital component of water resource management in the region. The detailed data provided also offers valuable insights into the complexities of maintaining and assessing the safety of such critical structures in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
