Summary
This dam has a height of 24 feet and a length of 295 feet, with a storage capacity of 109.88 acre-feet. It serves as a crucial water resource in the area, with a primary purpose of "Other" and a spillway type of "Controlled".
The dam overlooks the Canadian River and has a drainage area of 700 square miles, making it an essential structure for water management in the region. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for Eakins Pond 1 indicates a very high risk level (1). While the condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated", the dam is regularly inspected with a frequency of 5 years to ensure its safety and integrity.
Overall, Eakins Pond 1 plays a critical role in water resource management in Oklahoma, providing storage capacity, flood control, and water supply for the surrounding areas. Its construction by USDA NRCS reflects a commitment to sustainable water infrastructure, while ongoing inspections and risk assessments demonstrate a proactive approach to safeguarding this vital resource in the face of climate 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.
