Summary
Managed by the USDA NRCS and regulated by the OWRB, this dam stands at a height of 24.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 162.3 acre-feet. With a surface area of 14.15 acres and a drainage area of 126 square miles, Oknoname 30173 plays a crucial role in flood control and water resource management in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 30173 is considered to have a very high risk due to its location and structural characteristics. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Although it has not been rated for condition assessment, regular inspections are conducted every 5 years to ensure its safety and functionality. While the dam has not been modified since its completion, it serves as a key infrastructure for recreational activities and water supply in the area.
With its strategic location and vital role in water management, Oknoname 30173 is a significant asset in the region. As a privately owned structure, it showcases the importance of public-private partnerships in maintaining and safeguarding water resources in Oklahoma. From its construction to its regular inspections, the dam exemplifies the collaborative efforts needed to ensure sustainable water use and climate resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
