Scs-Okfuskee Tributaries Site-H04 dam
Scs-Okfuskee Tributaries Site-H04
SCS-Okfuskee Tributaries Site-H04 is a state-regulated earth dam located in Midway, Okfuskee County, Oklahoma. Designed by USDA NRCS, this flood risk reduction structure was completed in 1973 and stands at a height of 40 feet, with a length of 1110 feet. The dam has a maximum storage capacity of 1276 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 62 acre-feet, serving the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Hilliby Creek.
With a hazard potential rated as high and a condition assessment deemed fair, SCS-Okfuskee Tributaries Site-H04 poses a risk level of very high (1). Despite this, the dam has not undergone recent modifications or upgrades, with the last inspection conducted in October 2011. It is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water flow management. As a crucial infrastructure in the region's water resource management, continued monitoring and maintenance of SCS-Okfuskee Tributaries Site-H04 are essential to ensure its effectiveness in mitigating flood risks and safeguarding the surrounding communities.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.

About Scs-Okfuskee Tributaries Site-H04
Where does the data for Scs-Okfuskee Tributaries Site-H04 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the High hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
