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.
