The dam, constructed primarily with earth and stone materials, serves as a critical structure along the TR-EUFAULA LAKE river or stream. With a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, Moody Glen plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite its low hazard potential, Moody Glen is classified as having a very high risk due to its age and structural condition assessment not being rated. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a surface area of 6 acres and a maximum discharge of 2902 cubic feet per second. While the dam is under state jurisdiction and regulation by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, its last inspection was conducted in June 2011 with an inspection frequency of 5 years.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Moody Glen can appreciate its historical significance as a key infrastructure for water management in Oklahoma. The dam's location near High Hill Church and its association with the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers highlight its importance in the region's water infrastructure network. As efforts to assess and manage the dam's risk continue, stakeholders can monitor Moody Glen's condition and regulatory compliance to ensure the safety and sustainability of its operations for the future.
