Summary
The dam, standing at a height of 21.5 feet with a hydraulic height of 18.7 feet, serves the primary purpose of "Other" with a storage capacity of 229 acre-feet. The pond covers a surface area of 20.1 acres and has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Phil Williams Pond #1 is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating of 1, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite the lack of a formal Emergency Action Plan (EAP), the pond is equipped with a valve outlet gate for operational control.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in the area can appreciate the engineering feat of Phil Williams Pond #1, serving as a vital structure for water storage and management along the TR OF CIMARRON stream. With its stone core and soil foundation, the pond plays a crucial role in flood control and water conservation efforts in the region, showcasing the importance of sustainable water infrastructure development in Oklahoma.

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.
