The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction along the TR-Brier Cr river stream. With a structural height of 25 feet and a hydraulic height of 22 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet and a surface area of 11 acres. The controlled spillway type and low hazard potential make it a vital infrastructure for managing water resources in the area.
Although the dam has not been inspected since 1980, its condition is currently not rated, and it is designated as a very high-risk structure. Despite the lack of recent assessments, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain undisclosed. With a valve outlet gate and a maximum discharge capacity that is not specified, the dam's importance in mitigating flood risks and ensuring water resource sustainability in the region cannot be understated. The presence of the dam signifies a commitment to effective water resource management and climate resilience by the state of Oklahoma.
