Summary
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, this dam has a height of 15 feet and a hydraulic height of 6 feet. With a storage capacity of 115 acre-feet and a surface area of 7.62 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources for the surrounding area.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating. The spillway, with a width of 3 feet, is uncontrolled, and the dam's maximum discharge capacity is 1439 cubic feet per second. The last inspection of Casey 1-H-3 was conducted in June 2011, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. The condition assessment of the dam is currently listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation.
Overall, Casey 1-H-3 is a significant water infrastructure asset in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, contributing to the conservation of fish and wildlife in the area. With its location near Birch Creek tributary, the dam provides essential water management services while also posing manageable risks that require regular monitoring and evaluation to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
