Water Resources Engineer
Freese and Nichols, Inc.
Stillwater, Oklahoma
Chris Stoner spent 37 years with the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Texas and Oklahoma. In his final position, he served as State Conservation Engineer for Oklahoma for 16 years. Here he was responsible for all conservation engineering activities in the state including management of 2107 flood control dams. During his tenure as State Conservation Engineer, Chris approved 30 rehabilitation designs. In doing so, he built strong relationships with watershed sponors and helped them navigate the planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance of new and existing flood control dams. The operation and maintenance aspects become more challenging as dams age, which led to the pilot program for repairing metal components on old dams that will be presented today. Following his retirement from NRCS, Chris joined the Water Resources Division of Freese and Nichols in 2023. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University and a registered professional engineer in Texas and Oklahoma.
