Summary
Built in 1997 by USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam stands at 26 feet high and spans 723 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 114.1 acre-feet. It is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections, with a low hazard potential but a high risk assessment due to its age and condition. The dam features a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and is designated for purposes other than flood control or water supply.
Despite being privately owned, Oknoname 30201 falls under state jurisdiction and receives regulatory oversight from the OWRB. Its location in Welch, Oklahoma, within the Tulsa District, highlights its importance in managing water resources and mitigating potential risks in the region. While the dam's hazard potential is low, its risk assessment is rated very high, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and the safety of downstream communities. With a history of construction and inspection dating back to 1997, this dam serves as a critical infrastructure asset in Oklahoma's water management landscape.
Overall, Oknoname 30201 plays a vital role in the water resource infrastructure of Craig County, Oklahoma, providing storage capacity and flood protection along the local waterways. With a focus on state-regulated operations, this privately owned dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between government agencies and private entities in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in the region. As a key component in the hydraulic system of the area, Oknoname 30201 serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive risk management and continuous monitoring in safeguarding against potential hazards and ensuring the resilience of water infrastructure in the face of climate variability and change.

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.
