Summary

Completed in 1955, this Earth dam stands at 20 feet high and has a length of 330 feet, with a storage capacity of 58 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place.

Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, Oknoname 085003 is considered to have a very high risk factor, with a risk assessment score of 1 out of 5. It has a controlled spillway and one outlet valve, with a maximum discharge capacity of 800 cubic feet per second. The dam has not been inspected since May 2010, with a recommended inspection frequency of every 5 years, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and integrity.

Located in a picturesque setting in Willis, Oklahoma, Oknoname 085003 is a vital structure for water resource management in the area. With its stone core and soil foundation, the dam's design and construction reflect the engineering practices of its time. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the historical significance and environmental impact of this dam, while also recognizing the need for ongoing risk management and monitoring to safeguard against potential hazards.

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.
