Completed in 1975, this 24-foot high dam has a storage capacity of 631 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 77 acre-feet. The dam's spillway is of the controlled type, with a width of 1 foot, and features a single valve outlet gate for water release.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Lower Red Rock Creek Site-03 indicates a very high risk level (1). However, the dam's condition assessment is currently rated as "Not Rated," with the last inspection date recorded in 1980. With the State of Oklahoma overseeing regulation, inspection, and enforcement of the dam, it is crucial for ongoing risk management measures to be implemented to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure for both flood risk reduction purposes and the protection of downstream communities and ecosystems.
