Built in 1979 by USDA NRCS, this dam serves as a crucial water resource structure in Murray County, with a storage capacity of 250 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 230 cubic feet per second. The dam stands at a height of 25 feet and spans a length of 415 feet, with a controlled spillway width of 1 foot.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Hagee No 1 has a low hazard potential and is rated as "Very High (1)" in terms of risk assessment. Despite not having a current condition assessment, the dam is inspected every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in June 2002. With one valve as the outlet gate, this dam plays a crucial role in water management and conservation efforts in the region, ensuring the safety and security of surrounding communities.
In the event of an emergency, the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, raising concerns about the readiness of response measures. Nonetheless, with state regulation, inspection, and enforcement in place, Hagee No 1 remains a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the area. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, structures like Hagee No 1 are essential for ensuring sustainable water management practices in the face of evolving environmental challenges.
