The Earth-type dam stands at a height of 38 feet, with a length of 890 feet, providing a storage capacity of 143 acre-feet. Completed in 1968, the dam has a spillway type of controlled and a low hazard potential, with a very high risk assessment rating.
Despite being regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, with the last inspection conducted in December 2010. With a risk management plan in place, including emergency action procedures and contacts, the dam serves as a critical infrastructure for water resource management in the region. As climate change continues to pose challenges to water resources, the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures like the Oklahoma Gas & Electric dam becomes increasingly vital for sustainable water management practices in the face of changing environmental conditions.
