The Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) offers free inspections for low hazard-potential dams which includes an on-site inspection, full inspection report, and a breach inundation map. Dam owners benefit from this program because state law requires them to complete a dam inspection every five years. Dam owners can also take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about the inspection and maintenance techniques to prolong the life of their dam and manage their liabilities as dam owners.
For more information, contact Emma Moradi at (405) 530-8800 or emma.moradi@owrb.ok.gov.
If you are planning to newly construct, repair, or modify a dam, a permit with the OWRB is required prior to the start of any work. Pursuant to Title 785:25-5-1, an application form, fee, maps, engineering plans, drawings, and specifications are required to be submitted to the OWRB for Board Approval. Application forms can be found here. |
