With a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate, this structure is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find Webster Glenn an intriguing case study for understanding the complexities of dam management and risk assessment in the face of changing environmental conditions.
