Summary
Managed by USDA NRCS, this structure serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the tributary to Cimarron River. With a height of 33 feet and a storage capacity of 71.5 acre-feet, Oknoname 30239 plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Constructed with earth materials and buttress stone, this dam spans 400 feet in length and features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regularly inspected by OWRB to ensure its structural integrity and compliance with state regulations. The risk assessment for Oknoname 30239 indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance efforts to mitigate any potential threats to the community.
While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its strategic location and design make it a key asset for flood control in Woodward County. With a dedicated emergency action plan and regular inspections in place, Oknoname 30239 stands as a vital resource for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region, reflecting a commitment to safeguarding the community against natural disasters.

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.
