The dam was constructed for flood risk reduction purposes and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. With a height of 24 feet and a storage capacity of 155 acre-feet, the dam has a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk level. However, its condition assessment is currently not rated, and the last inspection took place in 2003. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are also unclear at this time.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate may find Henry D Glenn to be an intriguing structure due to its location in Oklahoma and its role in flood risk reduction on Big Sandy Creek. With further information needed on its maintenance and emergency preparedness measures, the dam presents an opportunity for study and potential improvements to enhance its safety and effectiveness in the face of changing climate conditions.
