Summary
Standing at a height of 33.8 feet and with a structural height of 37.8 feet, this dam plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of an unnamed tributary to Caney Boggy Creek. With a storage capacity of 104.71 acre-feet, it serves various purposes and has a normal storage capacity of 62.45 acre-feet.
Managed by the OWRB and meeting state regulations for inspection, permitting, and enforcement, Oknoname 30232 has a low hazard potential but a very high risk assessment rating. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment ranking is a cause for concern, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance. The presence of a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate ensures efficient water management and safety protocols in case of emergencies.
As an essential part of the water resource infrastructure in Hughes County, Oklahoma, Oknoname 30232 underscores the importance of effective dam management and risk assessment in the face of changing climate conditions. With a dedicated team of designers and regulators overseeing its operations, this dam serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts required to ensure the safety and sustainability of our water resources in the midst of a changing climate landscape.

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.
