Built in 1939, this dam stands at 18 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 10 feet and a length of 340 feet. It has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a surface area of 5 acres, serving as a controlled spillway for the TR-WEST SPANIARD CREEK.
Despite being assessed as having a low hazard potential and not yet rated for condition, Dod Usa 2 is considered to have a very high risk level. The dam is equipped with a single valve outlet gate and has had its last inspection in 1998 with a frequency of every 5 years. With Markwayne Mullin as the congressional representative for the area, the dam remains a vital recreational resource in the region.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, the management and maintenance of dams like Dod Usa 2 become increasingly important. Understanding the risk factors and ensuring proper inspections and emergency preparedness are vital in safeguarding not only the dam but also the surrounding community and environment.
