Summary
This regulated pond on Long Creek offers a surface area of 6.6 acres with a maximum storage capacity of 105.4 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.41 square miles. With a controlled spillway and low hazard potential, Lakey Pond provides essential water storage and management for the local area.
Constructed by NRCS, Lakey Pond serves as a vital water source for Sayre, Oklahoma, with a normal storage capacity of 51.8 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 31.6 cubic feet per second. Despite not having a designated primary dam type or year of completion, this pond offers recreational opportunities and environmental benefits to the region. With a very high risk assessment score, Lakey Pond remains a critical asset for water resource management in Beckham County.
Although Lakey Pond has not undergone a formal condition assessment, its structure stands at a height of 21.3 feet with a hydraulic height of 15.3 feet. The pond's risk management measures and emergency action plans are not currently rated, highlighting the need for further evaluation and preparedness. As a valuable water resource in the Tulsa District, Lakey Pond plays a significant role in ensuring water security and climate resilience for the local community.

Dam Data Reference
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.
