Summary
Completed in 2008, this dam spans 646 feet in length and stands at 30.5 feet in height, with a maximum storage capacity of 58.4 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1.08 square miles. The dam, situated on Cobb Creek, is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes state inspections, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance.
Despite its low hazard potential, Oknoname 30224 is classified as having a very high risk due to its condition assessment being unrated. The dam has not been evaluated for its emergency action plan, inundation maps, or risk management measures, highlighting the need for further assessment and preparedness. With a controlled spillway type and a hydraulic height of 27 feet, this dam serves as a vital resource for recreational activities while also posing potential risks that require careful monitoring and management to safeguard the surrounding community and environment.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate the intricate design and engineering behind Oknoname 30224, as well as the importance of maintaining proper regulatory oversight and emergency preparedness for such structures. With a congressman like Frank D. Lucas representing the area, there is a direct link to the government for addressing any concerns or improvements needed for this dam. As discussions around water management and climate change intensify, ensuring the safety and sustainability of dams like Oknoname 30224 becomes crucial in protecting both water resources and the communities they serve.

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.
