Summary
The dam is situated on Sand Creek and serves a variety of purposes, including irrigation and water storage. With a storage capacity of 22 acre-feet, Kinney Gp 8 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Kinney Gp 8 has a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam is uncontrolled with a spillway width of 40 feet and a surface area of 2 acres. While the condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," the dam has not undergone recent inspections. The risk management measures and emergency action plan for Kinney Gp 8 are currently not available, highlighting the need for increased monitoring and preparedness efforts.
As part of the Tulsa District, Kinney Gp 8 provides valuable insights into the management of water resources and climate resilience in the region. With its strategic location and contribution to water storage, the dam underscores the importance of proactive risk assessment and management for sustainable water infrastructure. Enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate adaptation will find Kinney Gp 8 a fascinating case study in dam safety and resilience efforts.

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.
