Located in Bailey, Grady County, Oklahoma, the SCS-Rush Creek Site-044 is a state-regulated earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction.
Completed in 1965, this dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a hydraulic height of 26 feet, with a length of 880 feet and a storage capacity of 129 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this dam plays a crucial role in managing the flow of Rush Creek, a tributary of the Canadian River.
Despite its age, the SCS-Rush Creek Site-044 has not been assessed for its condition and has not had a formal Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared. However, with inspections scheduled every 5 years, this dam is maintained to ensure its functionality and safety. The risk assessment for this site indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of proper management and maintenance to mitigate any potential threats to downstream communities and infrastructure. As a key flood risk reduction structure in the area, the SCS-Rush Creek Site-044 serves as a vital component in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Oklahoma.
