Summary
The dam was designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1979 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-SINCERE CR river or stream. It stands at a height of 30 feet with a hydraulic height of 25 feet and a structural height of 30 feet, stretching 580 feet in length.
With a maximum storage capacity of 180 acre-feet and a normal storage of 100 acre-feet, Maloy Gene serves as a crucial infrastructure for managing water resources in the region. The dam's controlled spillway and valve outlet gate ensure efficient water discharge, with a maximum capacity of 930 cubic feet per second. Despite being rated as low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment indicates a very high level of risk, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and risk management measures to ensure its safety and functionality.
Overall, Maloy Gene represents a vital component of water resource management in Oklahoma, playing a significant role in flood risk reduction and water storage along the TR-SINCERE CR river. Its construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service reflects a commitment to sustainable water infrastructure, while its low hazard potential underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks and ensure the safety of surrounding communities and ecosystems.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
