The dam stands at 47 feet high with a length of 560 feet, providing a storage capacity of 436 acre-feet. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam poses a very high risk due to its condition not being rated and lacking updated emergency action plans.
The dam features a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and is primarily used for flood risk reduction purposes. The structure, constructed with stone core and soil foundation, is under the regulatory oversight of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. Although last inspected in 1980, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years, the dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness remain unclear. With a high-risk classification and limited data on its current condition, stakeholders and water resource enthusiasts should advocate for updated assessments and safety measures to ensure the continued protection of downstream communities and the environment.
