Summary
This dam structure, primarily made of stone with a soil foundation, stands at a height of 27.7 feet and has a hydraulic height of 23.7 feet. With a storage capacity of 104.48 acre-feet and a normal storage of 51.06 acre-feet, the pond covers a surface area of 6.56 acres and drains an area of 1.7 square miles.
This water resource is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), ensuring that it meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. Kildoo Pond #1 serves as a controlled spillway for a tributary of Beaver Creek, with a maximum discharge capacity of 297 cubic feet per second. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam poses a very high risk, warranting attention to risk management measures in order to prevent potential emergencies and protect the surrounding community.
Water and climate enthusiasts will find Kildoo Pond #1 to be an intriguing structure, offering insights into dam design and management practices. Its location in an ecologically diverse region of Oklahoma, along with its connection to Beaver Creek, highlights the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions. As efforts continue to monitor and maintain this dam, there is a clear emphasis on safeguarding both the natural environment and local communities from potential risks associated with water infrastructure.

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.
