Scott Creek, located in West Weiser, Idaho, is a privately owned dam with a primary purpose of irrigation. Completed in 1977, this earth dam stands at a height of 20.3 meters and has a hydraulic height of 17.3 meters. With a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet and a surface area of 14 acres, Scott Creek serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area, drawing from the Snake River for its water source.

Despite its fair condition assessment as of October 2018, Scott Creek poses a significant hazard potential, with a very high risk assessment rating of 1. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 40 meters and a maximum discharge capacity of 100 cubic feet per second. While it is state regulated and inspected, the dam's hazard potential warrants ongoing risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.

Overall, Scott Creek serves as a crucial infrastructure for irrigation in the region, but its significant hazard potential underscores the importance of proactive risk management and regular inspections. With its location in the Walla Walla District and under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Department of Water Resources, Scott Creek stands as a reminder of the delicate balance between water resource utilization and environmental safety in the face of changing climate conditions.
