Warren Clark Pond 1 dam
Warren Clark Pond 1
Warren Clark Pond 1 in Pawnee, Oklahoma is a private earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 2005. The dam stands at 30 feet high with a hydraulic height of 23.3 feet and a length of 349 feet, creating a storage capacity of 39.59 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 22.63 acre-feet. Situated on an unnamed tributary of Salt Creek, this structure serves various purposes, although its primary purpose is classified as 'other', making it a versatile reservoir in the region.
With a surface area of 3.25 acres and a drainage area of 92 square miles, Warren Clark Pond 1 has a controlled spillway type with a width of 1 foot. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is rated as having a very high risk, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The condition assessment of this dam is currently marked as 'Not Rated', indicating a need for further evaluation to ensure the safety and efficacy of this vital water resource in the region.
Managed by the OWRB in the Tulsa District, Warren Clark Pond 1 plays a crucial role in water conservation and management in the area. Its location, design, and regulatory oversight highlight the significance of this earth dam in sustaining water resources and mitigating the impacts of climate change in Pawnee, Oklahoma.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Warren Clark Pond 1
Where does the data for Warren Clark Pond 1 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
