About Teal Pond
The primary purpose of Teal Pond is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by Doi Fws (federal). It impounds the Teel Cr near Lake Texoma.
The dam stands 15 feet tall and stretches 150 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 6 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. Completed in 1958, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life. The most recent inspection on record was 01/01/1980. That was over 46 years ago.
