Built in 1971 by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Washita River. With a dam height of 21 feet and a normal storage capacity of 27 acre-feet, this structure has a low hazard potential and is currently not rated in terms of condition assessment.
The dam, with a length of 1670 feet, features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Despite being inspected last in 1980, the site is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The risk assessment for this dam indicates a very high risk level, which may warrant further evaluation and risk management measures to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness in mitigating flood risks in the region.
