Summary
This low hazard potential dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 50 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in April 2004.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, Kelly Tom poses a very high risk, with a risk assessment rating of 1. The dam has a controlled spillway and is equipped with a single valve outlet gate. The condition of Kelly Tom is currently not rated, and it lacks an emergency action plan and inundation maps. The dam is not owned or funded by any federal agencies, and its primary purpose is listed as 'Other'.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Kelly Tom presents an intriguing case study in dam management and risk assessment. With its high risk rating and lack of key emergency preparedness measures, there is a pressing need for further evaluation and potential mitigation efforts to ensure the safety and integrity of this vital water infrastructure in Wagoner, Oklahoma.

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.
