Built in 1967, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and stretches 400 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The dam sits on the TR-BUTLER CR river and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, ensuring that it is inspected, permitted, and enforced to meet safety standards.
Despite its low hazard potential, Eccleston J has been rated as having a very high risk due to its condition assessment being listed as "Not Rated". The dam features a controlled spillway, outlet gates, and a valve system for water management. While it has not been modified in recent years, the dam is regularly inspected every five years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Although the risk assessment highlights potential concerns, the recreational benefits provided by Eccleston J make it a valuable water resource within the Tulsa District of Oklahoma.
