Completed in 1962, this dam on TR-Rock Creek stands at a height of 23 feet with a hydraulic height of 20 feet. It has a storage capacity of 172 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 90 acre-feet, serving to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, this low hazard potential dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. Despite being last inspected in 1980, the dam's risk assessment remains at a very high level (1), indicating the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance. With a risk management plan yet to be established, there is a need for continued attention to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this essential infrastructure for water resource management in the region.
