Summary
is a privately owned earth dam located in Comanche, Oklahoma, with a primary purpose of irrigation. Completed in 1979, this dam has a height of 25 feet and a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 24 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
This low hazard potential dam on Beaver Creek is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment for Mansel Ronnie L. rates it as very high (1), highlighting the importance of proper risk management measures. The last inspection in September 2010 deemed the dam's condition as not rated, indicating a need for further assessment and potential maintenance to ensure its continued safety and reliability for irrigation purposes.
With its stone core and soil foundation, Mansel Ronnie L. serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area. Although it has not been modified in recent years, regular inspections and risk assessments are crucial for maintaining the dam's integrity and mitigating potential hazards. As a key piece of infrastructure in the region, efforts to ensure the safety and effectiveness of Mansel Ronnie L. are essential for sustainable water management and climate resilience.

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.
