Summary
The dam, a gravity type structure with a height of 15 feet, serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a storage capacity of 125 acre-feet. The spillway is of the controlled type with a width of 1 foot, ensuring efficient water release when needed. The hazard potential is rated as low, indicating a relatively low risk of failure.
Although the last inspection was conducted in 2003, with a frequency of every 5 years, the condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated." Despite this, the risk assessment categorizes Masters Pond as having a very high risk potential, rated at level 1. However, the emergency action plan preparation status, as well as the adherence to guidelines, remains unknown. With a risk management summary yet to be determined, there is an element of uncertainty surrounding the current state of readiness for potential emergencies at the pond.
In conclusion, Masters Pond presents a unique case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts due to its private ownership, state regulation, and risk assessment rating. While the low hazard potential offers a sense of security, the lack of recent condition assessments and emergency preparedness information may raise concerns among stakeholders. Further research and monitoring are recommended to ensure the sustainable management and safety of this essential water resource in Oklahoma.

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.
