Lake Dam, located in Moore, Oklahoma, is a privately owned structure designed for flood risk reduction on a tributary to the Canadian River. Completed in 1970, this earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a length of 1270 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 400 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and one outlet valve, the dam has a very high risk assessment rating due to its potential hazard, although its condition assessment is currently not rated.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the Greenbriar Management Co. Lake Dam undergoes state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. Despite being a privately owned dam, it plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area and protecting downstream communities. The dam's undetermined hazard potential highlights the importance of continuous monitoring and maintenance to prevent any potential disasters.
With a risk management plan still undetermined and emergency preparedness measures not fully in place, the Greenbriar Management Co. Lake Dam serves as a vital flood control structure in Cleveland County, Oklahoma. As climate change continues to impact water resources and weather patterns, the importance of maintaining and upgrading such infrastructure to meet evolving challenges becomes increasingly apparent. The dam's strategic location and design play a key role in protecting the surrounding area from floods and ensuring the safety of the community.
