Summary
Built in 1970 by the USDA NRCS, this structure stands at 17 feet tall with a length of 280 feet, providing a normal storage capacity of 54 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 60 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 1.41 square miles and a surface area of 15 acres, Devine #3 serves as a vital water resource for the region.
Despite its low hazard potential, Devine #3 has been rated as not assessed for condition. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway measuring 42 feet wide, ensuring efficient water discharge during periods of high flow. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, efforts may be needed to enhance the structure's risk management measures and emergency preparedness to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the safety of the surrounding community.
Overall, Devine #3 represents a key component of the water infrastructure in Woods County, Oklahoma, playing a crucial role in water storage and management in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, monitoring and maintaining the structural integrity of dams like Devine #3 are essential to safeguarding the local ecosystem and water supply for future generations.

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.
