Summary

Built in 1999 by USDA NRCS, this earth dam serves a primary purpose that falls under the category of "Other". With a normal storage capacity of 92.5 acre-feet and a surface area of 95 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.

The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes regular inspections, with the last inspection conducted in August 2011. Despite being rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, the hazard potential is classified as "Low". However, the risk assessment for Oknoname 22292 is considered to be "Very High (1)", highlighting the importance of proper risk management measures and emergency preparedness for this critical infrastructure.

Located in the Tulsa District, Oknoname 22292 is a significant component of the local water management system, with a controlled spillway and one outlet valve. With a drainage area of 200 acres and a maximum discharge of 427 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water supply in the region. Despite its low hazard potential, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure the safety and effectiveness of Oknoname 22292 for the communities it serves.

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.
