Built in 1930, this dam stands at a height of 20 feet with a hydraulic height of 16 feet and a length of 300 feet. It has a storage capacity of 132 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 744 cubic feet per second. Storrie serves a primary purpose of "Other" and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Storrie poses a very high risk in terms of its risk assessment. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there is no information available regarding emergency action plans or inundation maps prepared for the area. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and a single valve outlet gate. Although there have been no recent inspections reported since May 2011, Storrie remains under state regulation and jurisdiction, with the necessary measures in place to address any potential issues that may arise.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Storrie presents an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure management and risk assessment. With its historical significance dating back to the early 20th century, the dam continues to provide vital water storage and control along the TR-BRUSHY CR stream. As discussions around dam safety and resilience grow in importance, Storrie serves as a focal point for understanding the complexities of managing water resources in a changing climate landscape.
