Summary
Completed in 1990, this earth dam stands at 16 feet high and stretches 1025 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 413 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of irrigation and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure compliance with safety standards.
Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure, the Wheeler Brothers Grain CO INC dam is considered to have a very high risk level due to its condition assessment being "Not Rated". The dam features a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate, with a maximum discharge capacity of 200 cubic feet per second. Although the last inspection was conducted in 2009 with a recommended inspection frequency of 5 years, the condition assessment remains unknown. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find this structure intriguing for its role in supporting agricultural irrigation in the area and its potential risk management challenges.

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.
