Summary
The dam, completed in 1971 by the NRCS, stands at a height of 33.6 feet with a storage capacity of 29.65 acre-feet. The pond serves as a crucial water source for the surrounding area, with a normal storage capacity of 17.89 acre-feet and a surface area of 3.87 acres.
Situated on East Barnitz Creek, Greg Adams Pond 1 plays a vital role in water management and conservation efforts in Custer County. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway width of 2 feet can handle a maximum discharge of 63 cubic feet per second, reducing the risk of flooding and ensuring the pond's functionality in times of heavy rainfall.
Overall, Greg Adams Pond 1 stands as a testament to effective water resource management in Oklahoma. With its rock foundation, moderate risk assessment, and ample storage capacity, the pond serves as a reliable source of water for the community while also minimizing the risk of potential hazards. Its strategic location and design make it a valuable asset in the region's efforts to combat climate change and ensure sustainable water use for future generations.

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.
