With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Sallisaw Creek, this structure stands at a height of 57 feet and has a storage capacity of 530 acre-feet. The dam boasts a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water management.
Despite being last inspected in 1980, this low hazard potential dam is categorized as having very high risk due to its age and the potential consequences of failure. While its condition is currently not rated, the structure is in need of a thorough assessment to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness in mitigating flood risks in the area. The presence of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board as the state regulatory agency underscores the importance of proper maintenance and inspection protocols to uphold public safety and protect the surrounding environment.
