This dam on TR-UNCLE JOHNS CREEK in Canadian County, Oklahoma, is designed to control water flow with a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate. The surrounding area covers 19 acres with a drainage area of unspecified size. Despite being classified with a very high risk assessment level, Mcclain Mw has not been rated for its condition assessment as of the last recorded inspection in July 2005. The risk management measures and emergency action plans for the dam have not been updated, indicating a potential area for improvement in ensuring the safety and efficiency of this water resource for the local community.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and with oversight from the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Mcclain Mw stands as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region. With its low hazard potential and historical significance since its construction in 1960, continued monitoring and maintenance efforts will be crucial to uphold the safety and functionality of this Earth dam for the surrounding area.
