Summary
Constructed in 1998 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves a primary purpose that is classified as 'Other'. With a height of 33.5 feet and a storage capacity of 57.75 acre-feet, Kr Hays Gss 1 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. The dam is regulated and inspected by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board to ensure its safety and compliance with state guidelines.
Despite its low hazard potential, Kr Hays Gss 1 is classified as having a very high risk level, indicating the importance of continued monitoring and risk management measures. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Although the condition of the dam is currently rated as 'Not Rated', regular inspections are conducted, with the last one taking place in November 2010. The dam's risk assessment highlights the need for preparedness and proactive measures to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.
Overall, Kr Hays Gss 1 serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. With its significant storage capacity and regulatory oversight, this earth dam plays a critical role in flood control and water supply maintenance along Nine Mile Creek. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the importance of structures like Kr Hays Gss 1 in ensuring resilience and sustainability in the face of evolving environmental challenges cannot be overstated.

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.
