Summary

This 6.14-acre pond on Dry Creek serves multiple purposes and has a low hazard potential, making it a valuable asset for water storage in the region. With a hydraulic height of 22.6 feet and a capacity of 30 acre-feet, the pond plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.

Despite its modest size, Roy Frailicks Pond has a very high risk assessment rating, indicating the importance of proper risk management measures. The controlled spillway, with a width of 2 feet, ensures controlled water release during periods of heavy rainfall to prevent flooding and protect downstream areas. The pond's condition assessment is currently not rated, highlighting the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its long-term functionality and safety.

Overall, Roy Frailicks Pond is a vital water resource in Choctaw County, Oklahoma, with the potential to support various water-related activities and contribute to the region's water management efforts. As climate change continues to impact water resources, maintaining and managing ponds like Roy Frailicks Pond will be crucial to ensuring water security and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
