Summary
1, located in Clinton, Oklahoma, is a privately owned water resource regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. This pond serves as a tributary to East Barnitz Creek and has a storage capacity of 78.5 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 20.9 acre-feet. With a surface area of 5.1 acres and a drainage area of 0.58 square miles, this pond plays a crucial role in managing water flow in the region.
Constructed with a stone core and soil foundation, Allen Bryson Pond No. 1 stands at a height of 19.6 feet, with a hydraulic height of 14.8 feet. The controlled spillway, with a width of 37 feet, helps regulate water discharge during periods of high flow. Despite its low hazard potential, this pond has been classified as having a very high risk due to its location and potential impact on the surrounding area in the case of an emergency.
While the condition assessment of Allen Bryson Pond No. 1 is currently not rated, it undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. With its strategic location and essential role in water management, this pond serves as a valuable resource for both local communities and the environment, making it a significant site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to study and appreciate.

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.
