Summary

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.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
