Summary

Constructed in 2005 by Doyle Eng., the dam stands at a height of 15.3 feet and has a normal storage capacity of 2.2 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, this stone dam plays a crucial role in water resource management for the area.

The White Pine Trail dam has a controlled spillway type with a width of 1 foot, serving a drainage area of 244 square miles. The structure is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB). Despite its small size, the dam provides essential water storage and flood control services, contributing to the overall water supply needs of the region.

This 1.3-mile long trail offers not only a scenic recreational area but also serves as a vital water supply infrastructure for Oklahoma City. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the White Pine Trail dam remains a critical asset in ensuring water security for the community, highlighting the importance of sustainable water management practices.

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.
