Summary
With a height of 21 feet and a storage capacity of 170 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is classified as having a very high risk due to its age and condition assessment.
Managed by the OWRB and inspected every 5 years, Mcgee No 2 features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet. The dam's structural integrity and functionality are essential for sustaining agriculture and water supply needs in the area. With a risk assessment rating of Very High (1), it is imperative that proper risk management measures are implemented to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this vital water resource infrastructure.
As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, the maintenance and upkeep of dams like Mcgee No 2 become increasingly important. With the potential for extreme weather events and increased pressure on water resources, the proper management and oversight of this dam are essential for the long-term sustainability of water use in Bryan, Oklahoma.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
