Summary
Constructed in 1999 by the USDA NRCS, this structure serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a normal storage capacity of 53.3 acre-feet. With a maximum discharge of 30.2 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. The dam stands at a height of 27.5 feet with a hydraulic height of 22.9 feet, providing flood control and water supply benefits to the surrounding area.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 22297 is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safe operation. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is classified as having a very high risk due to its condition assessment being "Not Rated." This classification warrants close monitoring and potential risk management measures to mitigate any potential issues that may arise. The dam's spillway type is controlled, and it is equipped with a single valve outlet gate for water release when needed.
Although Oknoname 22297 has not been rated for its condition assessment, its risk level is classified as very high, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and potential risk management measures. As a vital component of water resource management in Hughes County, this privately owned dam contributes to flood control, water supply, and overall ecosystem health in the region. With its state-regulated status and regular inspections, Oknoname 22297 plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and sustainability 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.
