Built in 1950 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam on Spring Creek stands at 38 feet high and has a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a hazard potential rated as low, this dam serves multiple purposes beyond flood control or water supply.
Despite its age, Oknoname 30198 has not been fully assessed for its condition and lacks emergency action plans or risk management measures. However, with a very high risk assessment rating, there is a need for further evaluation and preparation for potential emergencies. The dam's last inspection was conducted in 2010, with a recommended inspection frequency of 5 years. With its location in a high-risk area, stakeholders must prioritize safety measures and ensure that the dam meets regulatory guidelines to protect the surrounding community and the environment.
