Summary
This wetland embankment, regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, is designed to enhance the local ecosystem by providing habitat for various aquatic species. With a structural height of 7.9 feet and a hydraulic height of 5.5 feet, this embankment plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in the area.
Located in McClain County, Oklahoma, along an unnamed tributary, Lon Hayes Wetland Embankment#2 covers a surface area of 9.67 acres and has a drainage area of 0.45 square miles. Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, this structure is inspected every 5 years to ensure its integrity and functionality. Although the dam was not built by the US Army Corps of Engineers, it serves as a vital component in the local water infrastructure, contributing to flood control and water storage for the surrounding environment.
While details such as the year of completion and spillway type are not specified, Lon Hayes Wetland Embankment#2 remains a significant feature in the landscape of Rosedale, providing valuable benefits for both wildlife and water resource management.

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.
