Scs-Fast Runner Creek Site-2 dam
Scs-Fast Runner Creek Site-2
SCS-Fast Runner Creek Site-2 in Caddo, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction on TR-DRY CREEK. Completed in 1959, this dam stands at 37 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 28 feet and a structural height of 37 feet. It has a length of 740 feet and a storage capacity of 291 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 45 acre-feet.
The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate with a single valve. While the hazard potential is rated as low, the risk assessment indicates a very high risk level of 1. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in January 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. The condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated", and emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps are not reported to be in place.
Overall, SCS-Fast Runner Creek Site-2 serves a crucial purpose in flood risk reduction in the region, supported by the state regulatory agency OWRB. With its strategic location and design, this dam plays a significant role in managing water resources and mitigating potential flood hazards along TR-DRY CREEK. Its history of construction and operational details make it a noteworthy site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to study and appreciate.
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-Fast Runner Creek Site-2
Where does the data for Scs-Fast Runner Creek Site-2 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 Low 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.
