Summary
The dam, constructed in 1995, is an earth dam with a height of 14 feet and a length of 779 feet. The pond has a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6.6 acres. It is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is used for recreational purposes as well as supporting local wildlife.
Situated on the Salt Fork Red River, Duck Pond #1 serves as a habitat for various species of fish and wildlife in the area. The controlled spillway and valve outlet gate help manage water levels and prevent flooding. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the pond is in a very high risk area, according to the data. The dam has not been formally assessed for its condition, but regular inspections are conducted every five years to ensure its safety and functionality.
Overall, Duck Pond #1 is a vital water resource in the region, providing both recreational opportunities and supporting the local ecosystem. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is essential to monitor and manage dams like Duck Pond #1 to ensure their resilience and sustainability for future generations.

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.
