Summary
Built in 2005 by USDA NRCS, this structure stands at 7.3 feet high and has a storage capacity of 69.4 acre-feet. The dam spans 950 feet in length and is designed to control the flow of an unnamed intermittent creek, offering a surface area of 9.6 acres for recreational activities.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Weimer Swc No.2 has a low hazard potential and is classified as having a very high risk due to its critical role in flood mitigation. Despite not being rated for its condition, the dam undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity. With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, this dam serves as a vital asset in the region's water resource management efforts.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Weimer Swc No.2 to be an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure, showcasing the intersection of recreational use and flood control. With its proximity to Grady, Oklahoma, and its role in regulating an intermittent creek, this structure serves as a key component in the local water management system. As climate change impacts continue to manifest, understanding the design and management of dams like Weimer Swc No.2 becomes increasingly important in ensuring the resilience of water resources in the region.

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.
