Summary
Managed by the USDA NRCS, this structure is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and has state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam stands at a height of 22.8 feet with a hydraulic height of 19.6 feet and a structural height of 26.3 feet, providing a storage capacity of 108.3 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 12.9 cubic feet per second. With a controlled spillway and low hazard potential, this structure plays a crucial role in water management in the region.
Although the primary purpose of Oknoname 30223 is listed as "Other", it serves vital functions in terms of water storage and control. The dam has a surface area of 7.7 acres and drains an area of 0.81 square miles, making it an important asset for managing water resources in the Dewey County region. Despite being assigned a very high risk assessment rating, the dam's condition is currently listed as "Not Rated", indicating a need for further evaluation. With a history of state jurisdiction and regulatory oversight, Oknoname 30223 stands as an integral component of the local water infrastructure.
Overall, Oknoname 30223 represents a critical piece of Oklahoma's water management infrastructure, with a significant role in controlling the flow of Dear Creek and providing essential storage capacity. As a privately owned structure with state-regulated operations and a low hazard potential, this dam showcases the collaboration between private ownership and government oversight in ensuring the safety and efficiency of water resources in the region. Further assessments and risk management measures may be needed to maintain the integrity and functionality of Oknoname 30223 for years to come.

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.
