Summary
Built in 1981 by USDA NRCS, this private dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a length of 742 feet, providing a storage capacity of 96 acre-feet. Despite being a non-federal structure, the dam is state-regulated with permitting and inspection requirements in place.
The dam, constructed with earth and buttress core types, is designed to withstand potential hazards, although its condition assessment is currently not rated. While it does not have a spillway, it is equipped with one outlet gate. The risk assessment for the dam is considered high, with a Hazard Potential of "Not Available." With a picturesque location on TR-Kickapoo Creek and under the jurisdiction of the Tulsa District, Dalton Moore Pond Dam is a significant water resource for the local community.
This dam not only provides essential water storage for various purposes but also adds to the scenic beauty of the area. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the management and maintenance of structures like Dalton Moore Pond Dam become crucial for ensuring water security and resilience in the face of future challenges. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find this dam a fascinating subject for study and appreciation of the intersection of water management and environmental sustainability.

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.
