is a privately owned earth dam located on TR Little Beaver Creek in Stephens, Oklahoma. Built in 1960, the dam stands at 27 feet tall with a maximum storage capacity of 71 acre-feet. It serves a primary purpose of "Other" and has a low hazard potential, with a very high risk assessment rating. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.
The Jenkins E.H. dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes state inspection, permitting, and enforcement. The structure is situated on the ST HWY 7 Bridge, in close proximity to the city of 17. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further evaluation of its structural integrity and safety measures.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may be interested in the hydraulic and structural specifications of Jenkins E.H., such as its stone core and soil foundation. The dam's location within the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers provides valuable data for studying the impact of climate change on water management in the region. Further research and risk management measures may be necessary to ensure the safety and functionality of this critical infrastructure in the face of evolving environmental challenges.
