Standing at a height of 33 feet and spanning 310 feet in length, this structure serves a primary purpose that is classified as "Other." It has a storage capacity of 31 acre-feet and is situated on the TR-WILLAWALLA river or stream within the Tulsa District.
Despite its relatively small size, the Kenas Gss poses a high risk, with a hazard potential that is currently not available. It has not been rated for its condition assessment, and there is limited information on its emergency action plan and risk management measures. The dam does not feature a spillway and has no associated locks, indicating a simpler design compared to larger structures in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Kenas Gss offers a unique opportunity to study the management and maintenance of smaller dams in rural areas. With its private ownership and minimal regulatory oversight, this structure presents a fascinating case study in dam safety and emergency preparedness within the state of Texas.
