Summary

Designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 2009, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 26.6 feet and has a storage capacity of 186.63 acre-feet. With a surface area of 9.46 acres and a drainage area of 1.57 square miles, this pond plays a crucial role in enhancing the local ecosystem.

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Oknoname 30248 has a controlled spillway and is classified as having a low hazard potential. Despite being in good condition and not yet rated, the dam is subject to regular inspections every 5 years to ensure its safety and functionality. With a maximum discharge capacity of 382.5 cubic feet per second, this structure serves as a vital water resource in the region, contributing to the overall water management efforts in the area.

Located within the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Oknoname 30248 is a testament to the collaborative efforts between government agencies and private owners to promote environmental conservation and sustainable water use. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the management and maintenance of structures like Oknoname 30248 will be crucial in ensuring the resilience of ecosystems and communities in the face of changing weather patterns.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
