Summary
Designed by the USDA NRCS, this 27-foot high structure serves various purposes, including providing water storage of up to 28 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is classified as having a moderate risk level, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures.
Owned privately, George does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation, with no state permitting, inspection, or enforcement requirements. The dam's primary source agency is in Oklahoma, and it is situated within the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With an uncontrolled spillway and a risk assessment rating of moderate, George stands as a testament to effective private water resource management in the region.
Although George's condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," its location in Quinlan, Oklahoma, highlights its significance in the local water resource infrastructure. With its primary purpose not specified, the dam serves as a key feature in the landscape, providing essential water storage and contributing to the overall environmental health of the area. As a private earth dam with a unique design and construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, George represents a harmonious blend of human ingenuity and environmental stewardship in water resource management.

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.
