This dam stands at a height of 22 feet with a hydraulic height of 20 feet and a length of 3730 feet, providing a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet for flood control purposes. The dam's spillway type is controlled with a spillway width of 1 foot, and it is equipped with one valve outlet gate.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, this dam has a very high risk assessment rating of 1 due to its condition being not rated and lacking updated emergency action plans and risk management measures. The last inspection date recorded for this structure was in 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. With the dam being located in Washita County, Oklahoma and falling under the jurisdiction of the OWRB, there is a need for enhanced monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this critical infrastructure for managing water resources in the region.
