SCS-Caney Creek Site-09, located in Atoka, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated dam designed by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along the TR-CANEY CREEK.


Summary

Completed in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 39 feet with a hydraulic height of 35 feet, serving its primary purpose effectively. With a storage capacity of 460 acre-feet and a surface area of 11 acres, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.

Although last inspected in 1980, the dam at SCS-Caney Creek Site-09 has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite this, the risk assessment categorizes the structure as having a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. With a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate, this dam is equipped to handle a maximum discharge of 1970 cubic feet per second, ensuring the safety and protection of the surrounding areas in case of flooding events.

Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, SCS-Caney Creek Site-09 serves as a crucial infrastructure for flood risk mitigation in the region, showcasing the collaboration between state agencies and federal designers in ensuring water resource management and climate resilience.

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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
