Summary

This recreational dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is situated on a tributary to Little Hauani. With a height of 37 feet and a hydraulic height of 34 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 68.9 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6.8 acres.

Although the hazard potential of Luke # 1 is classified as low, it has been rated as having a moderate risk level. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 155 feet, ensuring proper water discharge during periods of high flow. The dam structure, which was designed by Fox Engineering, Ardmore, OK, is regularly inspected by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.

In the event of an emergency, the condition assessment of Luke # 1 is currently marked as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation and preparation of an emergency action plan. Despite this, the dam remains a vital resource for recreation in the area, providing opportunities for water enthusiasts to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape while also serving an important role in water management and conservation efforts in the region.

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.
