Completed in 1940, this dam on TR-Baconrind Creek stands at 20 feet high and has a storage capacity of 300 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a maximum discharge of 620 cubic feet per second, Drummond R serves various purposes beyond flood control, making it a crucial water resource in the region.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Drummond R has a low hazard potential and is considered to be in very high-risk due to its age and structural characteristics. The dam has a valve outlet gate and is inspected every 5 years, with the last inspection taking place in 2003. Despite being in good condition, it has not been formally rated, and there is no Emergency Action Plan in place currently. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find Drummond R an interesting site to study for its historical significance and ongoing management challenges in the face of increasing climate variability.
