Built in 2006 by designer Charles Sullivan, this earth dam stands at 60 feet tall and stretches 600 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 775 acre-feet and a surface area of 2500 acres. The dam serves the primary purpose of irrigation, providing water to support agricultural activities on the ranch.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Twin Eagles Ranch is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single outlet valve for water release. Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, the dam is considered to have a very high risk due to its location in a high-risk area. With regular inspections every 5 years, the ranch ensures the safety and efficient operation of the structure. Twin Eagles Ranch demonstrates a commitment to water resource management and climate resilience in its utilization of water for irrigation purposes.
