Summary

This recreational facility is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and boasts a hydraulic height of 25 feet and a structural height of 33 feet. With a storage capacity of 400 acre-feet and a surface area of 18.5 acres, Matil provides opportunities for a variety of water-based activities in a picturesque setting.

Although the dam's primary purpose is recreation, it also serves as a controlled spillway with a width of 2 feet. The hazard potential is rated as low, but the risk assessment indicates a very high risk level, requiring vigilant monitoring and management. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the facility undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its safety and functionality. With its location in a beautiful natural setting and its importance for water resource management, Matil is a valuable asset for both the local community and water resource enthusiasts.

Overall, Matil is a significant water resource in Oklahoma, offering recreational opportunities while also playing a role in water management and regulation in the region. With its low hazard potential and high risk assessment, it is essential for the facility to be properly maintained and monitored to ensure the safety of both visitors and the surrounding environment. As a privately owned structure, Matil contributes to the overall water infrastructure of the area, providing a valuable resource for residents and visitors alike.

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.
