Summary
This dam, designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1999, serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond along Cat Creek. With a height of 17.5 feet and a storage capacity of 67.4 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 10.6 acres and has a drainage area of 703 acres.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Oknoname 30022 is regulated and inspected regularly to ensure compliance with state standards. Despite being classified as low hazard potential, it is deemed to have a very high risk level, warranting close monitoring and risk management measures. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate for water release.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate in the region can appreciate the critical role Oknoname 30022 plays in supporting local fish and wildlife habitats, as well as its contribution to the overall ecological balance along Cat Creek. The dam's construction and maintenance demonstrate a commitment to environmental conservation and responsible water resource management in the area, under the oversight of the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

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.
