Summary
Completed in 1976, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet and serves primarily for irrigation purposes. It spans 556 feet in length and has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, with a maximum discharge rate of 140 cubic feet per second.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Mcintire is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency. The dam has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and a low hazard potential. Despite being rated as "Very High Risk (1)", the condition assessment of Mcintire is currently marked as "Not Rated", with the last inspection conducted in November 2001 with a frequency of 5 years.
Although lacking specific risk management measures or emergency action plans, Mcintire remains a crucial infrastructure for irrigation in the area. With its stone core and soil foundation, this dam on the TR-TUKLO CR river is a key component of water resource management in the region, highlighting the intersection of water conservation and climate resilience in Oklahoma.

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.
