SCS-Rush Creek Site-010 is a state-regulated dam located in Grady, Oklahoma, designed by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along the Four Mile Creek.
Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and has a hydraulic height of 31 feet, with a storage capacity of 1600 acre-feet. It is primarily owned and operated by the state, with regulatory oversight from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
Despite being classified as having low hazard potential, SCS-Rush Creek Site-010 is considered to have a very high risk assessment due to its location and potential impact on the surrounding area. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, with the last inspection dating back to 1980. The emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures for the dam are currently unknown, highlighting the need for updated assessment and preparedness in the face of potential climate-related challenges.
With a controlled spillway and one outlet valve, SCS-Rush Creek Site-010 is a critical infrastructure for managing flood risk in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to monitor and advocate for the continued maintenance and evaluation of this dam to ensure its effectiveness in safeguarding the community and environment from potential hazards.
