Triangle B. Ranch Pond No. 1 dam
Triangle B. Ranch Pond No. 1
Triangle B. Ranch Pond No. 1, located in Haskell, Oklahoma, is a privately owned reservoir designed by USDA NRCS and regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. This dam structure, with a height of 28.5 feet and a hydraulic height of 27.5 feet, serves as a vital water resource in the region. With a storage capacity of 55.81 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 320.5 cubic feet per second, the pond covers a surface area of 2.89 acres and drains an area of 0.32 square miles.
The reservoir, situated along an unnamed tributary to the Canadian River, features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 174 feet. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential and not having a condition assessment, the risk assessment for Triangle B. Ranch Pond No. 1 indicates a moderate risk level (3). Although the emergency action plan status and risk management measures are unspecified, the dam is inspected every 5 years to ensure its integrity and safety. Overall, this pond plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience in the area.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of Triangle B. Ranch Pond No. 1 in the context of sustainable water management and risk mitigation is essential. This reservoir not only provides valuable storage capacity and flood control but also highlights the importance of regular inspections and emergency preparedness. With its location in a serene rural setting in Tucker, Oklahoma, this dam represents a key infrastructure piece that contributes to the overall water security and environmental sustainability of the region.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Triangle B. Ranch Pond No. 1
Where does the data for Triangle B. Ranch Pond No. 1 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
