Summary
This earth dam stands at 15 feet high with a hydraulic height of 10 feet and a storage capacity of 700 acre-feet. Completed in 1979, the dam serves the primary purpose of irrigation and has a spillway width of 1 foot. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment for the dam is rated as very high, indicating the need for careful monitoring and management.
Located within the Fort Worth District, the US Forest Service dam is primarily funded and regulated by federal agencies. With a controlled spillway and valve outlet gates, the dam has a history of inspections dating back to 2006, with a frequency of 5 years. The condition assessment of the dam is currently rated as "Not Rated," highlighting the need for further evaluation. Although the risk management measures and emergency action plan status are not specified, the dam's risk assessment level suggests the importance of implementing appropriate safety measures to mitigate potential hazards.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the US Forest Service dam presents an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure management. With a focus on irrigation and a high-risk rating, this earth dam serves as a critical water source in Oklahoma. As the dam continues to be monitored and assessed, it serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water resource management and the need for proactive risk mitigation strategies in the face of changing climate conditions.

Dam Data Reference
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.
