Summary
This earth dam, with a height of 16.6 feet and a hydraulic height of 11.5 feet, serves as a vital resource for the local ecosystem. With a storage capacity of 108.4 acre-feet and a surface area of 8.48 acres, this pond plays a crucial role in supporting the surrounding wildlife.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, Oknoname 30231 poses a very high risk due to its condition assessment being not rated. However, with state regulation, inspection, and enforcement in place, the dam is closely monitored and maintained. The controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate ensure proper water management in case of emergencies, further emphasizing the importance of this structure for both environmental and safety reasons.
As enthusiasts for water resources and climate, Oknoname 30231 offers a fascinating case study in sustainable ecosystem management. With its strategic location in Wakita, Oklahoma, this dam serves as a model for balancing the needs of wildlife and water conservation. Its significance extends beyond its physical parameters, highlighting the intricate relationship between human intervention and natural habitats in the face of changing climate patterns.

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.
