Completed in 1985, this dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a length of 1450 feet, with a storage capacity of 307 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Salt Creek, it serves to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events, with a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential.
Despite being last inspected in 1980, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years, the dam is considered to have a very high risk due to its age and condition assessment not being rated. It is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to keep an eye on this dam and advocate for regular maintenance and updates to ensure its continued effectiveness in mitigating flood risks in the region. As the dam is owned by the state of Oklahoma and falls under the jurisdiction of the OWRB, it is crucial for state agencies to prioritize the safety and maintenance of this critical infrastructure.
