The dam stands at a height of 38 feet and spans a length of 800 feet, with a storage capacity of 850 acre-feet for flood risk reduction along the TR-Little Wewoka Creek. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is deemed to have a very high risk assessment, indicating the need for careful monitoring and management of its structural integrity.
The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release, with a stone core and soil foundation supporting its structure. While the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," its last inspection date dates back to 1980 and is scheduled for assessment every 5 years. The risk management measures and emergency preparedness plans for SCS-Little Wewoka Creek Site-09 are yet to be updated, highlighting the importance of ongoing evaluation and maintenance to ensure the safety and efficiency of this critical infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.
