Built in 1970, this dam stands at 30 feet high with a hydraulic height of 26 feet, serving the primary purpose of "Other." It is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and has a low hazard potential, making it a relatively safe structure. The dam impounds TR CLEAR CREEK, with a storage capacity of 79 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 1240 cubic feet per second.

The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. It has not been modified in recent years, and its last inspection was conducted in September 2011, with an inspection frequency of five years. The dam is within the jurisdiction of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, under the representation of Congressman Tom Cole (R). Overall, Oknoname 137042 represents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts, showcasing the management and assessment challenges associated with aging infrastructure in the face of evolving regulatory standards.
