Summary
Constructed in 1999 by USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 36 feet and has a storage capacity of 556 acre-feet. It serves as a crucial structure for water resource management, with a primary purpose designated as "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
The dam, situated on a tributary to Sugar Creek, covers a surface area of 15 acres and has a drainage area of 1495 acres. With a controlled spillway type and a low hazard potential, Oknoname 22293 is well-maintained and last inspected in September 2010. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is classified as having a very high risk assessment, indicating the importance of continued monitoring and risk management measures.
Owned by a private entity, Oknoname 22293 plays a significant role in water resource management in the region. With its strategic location and design features, this dam serves as a vital structure for flood control and water storage, contributing to the overall resilience of the local water infrastructure. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the importance of this dam in ensuring the sustainable management of water resources in Oklahoma.

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.
