Summary
Completed in 1966, this dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a hydraulic height of 30 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 297 acre-feet. Situated on TR-CANEY CREEK and managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area.
With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, SCS-Caney Creek Site-04 is equipped with a valve outlet gate and has a very high risk assessment rating. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, this dam has not been modified since its completion and is inspected every five years. While it has not had any emergency action plans prepared or updated recently, the dam's risk management measures are currently unspecified, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in flood risk reduction.
Overall, SCS-Caney Creek Site-04 serves as a vital infrastructure for managing water resources in Atoka, Oklahoma, and underscores the importance of proactive risk assessment and management to safeguard against potential hazards. As a key element in the region's flood control system, this dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between state agencies and the USDA NRCS to protect communities and ecosystems from the impacts of extreme weather events and climate variability.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
