Summary
Built in 2004 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 28.8 feet and serves primarily for flood risk reduction. With a storage capacity of 36.21 acre-feet and a drainage area of 196 acres, the dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure its safety and functionality.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 30128 is considered to have a very high risk due to its location and potential impact in case of failure. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve for outlet gates. While its condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam has an inspection frequency of every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in July 2011. Overall, Oknoname 30128 is a crucial structure in mitigating flood risks in the region and highlights the importance of proper management and maintenance of water resources and infrastructure in the face of climate challenges.

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.
