Summary

Constructed in 2003 by USDA NRCS, this stone dam serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, this dam has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and a maximum discharge of 4.4 cubic feet per second.

Despite being deemed as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, Oknoname 30115 is subject to regular inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status remain unclear, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and preparedness. With a designated state jurisdiction and regulatory agency overseeing its operations, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the Caddo County area.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 30115 presents an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure and risk management. As one of the many dams in Oklahoma under state regulation, its location, design, and purpose offer valuable insights into the complexities of water control and conservation efforts. With ongoing assessments and potential updates to its emergency action plan, this dam serves as a focal point for understanding the intersection of engineering, policy, and environmental considerations in safeguarding our water resources.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
