Summary
The dam, primarily built for purposes other than flood control or water supply, stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. Completed in 1984, this earth dam is regulated and inspected by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring its safety and compliance with state regulations.
Located on a tributary of Concharty Creek, Flint Ridge Development has a low hazard potential but a very high risk assessment rating, indicating the need for continuous monitoring and risk management measures. Despite being not rated for condition assessment, the dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. The last inspection date recorded was in 2004, with an inspection frequency of 5 years, suggesting the need for updated assessments to ensure the dam's integrity.
Overall, Flint Ridge Development plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region, providing storage and control capabilities for its associated structures. With its strategic location and regulatory oversight, the dam serves as a vital infrastructure for maintaining water security and mitigating potential risks associated with its operation. Continued monitoring and adherence to safety guidelines will be essential in ensuring the long-term resilience of this valuable water resource.

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.
