Summary
With a storage capacity of 74 acre-feet and serving a drainage area of 160 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 30071 is deemed to have a very high risk due to unspecified factors. While the dam's condition assessment is not rated, it undergoes inspections every 5 years by the state regulatory agency, OWRB. The dam has a controlled spillway type and is equipped with emergency action plans to meet guidelines for risk management and public safety. As an integral part of the water infrastructure in the area, Oknoname 30071 highlights the importance of monitoring and maintaining dams to ensure their resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.
In the realm of water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 30071 serves as a case study for understanding the complexities of dam management and the need for proactive risk assessment and mitigation strategies. As climate change continues to impact water systems, the stewardship of dams like Oknoname 30071 becomes increasingly vital in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against potential hazards and ensuring sustainable water resource management for the future.

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.
