Summary
This dam serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond with a storage capacity of 27.7 acre-feet and a surface area of 2.2 acres. The dam stands at a height of 29.7 feet with a hydraulic height of 22.6 feet, providing essential habitat for aquatic life in the area.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring its compliance with state regulations for inspection, enforcement, and permitting. The dam has a controlled spillway type with a width of 1 foot, minimizing the risk of overflow and maintaining a low hazard potential. Despite its very high risk assessment rating, the dam's condition remains unrated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
With its primary purpose of supporting fish and wildlife, Oknoname 22272 plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. As an Earth dam with a strong foundation of soil and stone core, it not only provides essential water storage but also contributes to ecosystem conservation and biodiversity. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the importance of structures like Oknoname 22272 in sustaining the delicate balance of water ecosystems and supporting the local environment.

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.
