Summary
This earth dam, primarily used for recreation purposes, spans 790 feet in length and stands at a height of 8.4 feet. Situated on Bear Creek, it has a drainage area of 180 acres and a normal storage capacity of 18.7 acre-feet.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 22273 has a controlled spillway and is equipped with a single valve outlet gate. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is classified as having a very high risk due to its condition being not rated. The last inspection was conducted in August 2011, with an inspection frequency of every five years. The dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are currently unknown.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Oknoname 22273 can appreciate its contribution to the local recreational activities while being mindful of its risk assessment. As a privately owned structure, it is regulated by the state of Oklahoma and underscores the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its safety and functionality. With its location in a high-risk area and limited information on emergency preparedness, further attention and action may be needed to mitigate potential hazards associated with this dam.

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.
