Summary

Constructed in 1979, this dam stands at a height of 24.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 450 acre-feet. With a surface area of 34 acres, the pond is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections to ensure compliance with state regulations.

Despite being classified as having low hazard potential, the Northeastern Station Bottom Ash Pond is considered to have a moderate risk level. With a five-year inspection frequency, the pond currently has a "Not Rated" condition assessment, suggesting that further evaluations may be needed to assess its overall safety and integrity. With an uncontrolled spillway type and no official emergency action plan in place, there is room for improvement in terms of risk management measures to enhance the safety of this critical water resource.

In the event of an emergency, the Northeastern Station Bottom Ash Pond's hazard potential and moderate risk level highlight the importance of having a comprehensive emergency action plan in place. Regular assessments and updates to the risk management strategy, along with coordination with relevant agencies and stakeholders, can help mitigate potential hazards and ensure the long-term sustainability of this essential water resource in Oklahoma.

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.
