Built in 1940, this stone dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a length of 1520 feet, with a storage capacity of 1100 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of providing water supply to the surrounding area, with a normal storage capacity of 600 acre-feet.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Maramec is state-regulated and undergoes regular inspections, with a low hazard potential but a very high risk assessment rating. Despite not being rated for its condition, the dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status is unclear, as are the details regarding inundation maps, risk management measures, and other risk assessment factors. Maramec's spillway is controlled with a width of 2 feet, and it has one outlet valve.
Located in Congressional District 03, Oklahoma, Maramec is a critical infrastructure ensuring water supply for the region. Its operational and regulatory aspects make it a key feature in the water resource management landscape, offering insights into the intersection of water supply, dam safety, and climate resilience in the area.
