Summary

Designed by Greg Massey, this private dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring proper inspection, enforcement, and permitting processes are in place. With a structural height of 21 feet and a hydraulic height of 25 feet, this stone dam spans 480 feet in length and offers a storage capacity of 153 acre-feet.

The Beecher Property Dam boasts a spillway width of 120 feet and a controlled spillway type, managing a maximum discharge of 28.9 cubic feet per second. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, this dam remains a key resource for water management in the region. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the Beecher Property Dam plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities and ensuring water availability for irrigation purposes in the area.

While lacking specific completion date or modification records, the Beecher Property Dam continues to provide essential water storage and management capabilities. Although currently not equipped with emergency action plans or updated contact information, this dam underscores the importance of risk management measures in safeguarding water resources and enhancing climate resilience in the face of potential hazards.

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.
