Summary
Built in 2007 by SCS-NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 16.9 feet and has a storage capacity of 81.14 acre-feet for water resource enthusiasts to admire. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential rating, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow in the region.
Despite being state-regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 30213 has not been rated for its current condition. However, its risk assessment is classified as very high (1), indicating the importance of proper maintenance and management to ensure its structural integrity. With a drainage area of 2.34 square miles and a maximum discharge of 289 cubic feet per second, this dam is a key player in controlling water flow and preventing flooding in the Washita County area.
For climate enthusiasts, Oknoname 30213 offers a fascinating study in the intersection of water resource management and environmental risk. While its emergency action plan and risk management measures are not detailed in the data provided, the presence of state inspection, permitting, and enforcement processes suggest a commitment to ensuring the safety and sustainability of this vital infrastructure. As the climate continues to change, dams like Oknoname 30213 will play a crucial role in adapting to and mitigating the impacts of extreme weather events.

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.
