Summary
Completed in 1963, this dam stands at 35 feet high and 1000 feet long, with a storage capacity of 293 acre-feet. The dam's spillway is controlled and its hazard potential is rated as low, with a very high risk assessment score of 1.
Despite being last inspected in 1980, SCS-Roaring Creek Site-013 remains in a not-rated condition assessment, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. The dam is equipped with a valve outlet gate for water release, and while it has not undergone modifications in recent years, it is maintained by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The surrounding area covers 11 acres, with a drainage area of unspecified size and a maximum discharge capacity of 795 cubic feet per second.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find this site intriguing due to its important role in flood risk reduction and its historical significance as a part of Oklahoma's water infrastructure. The dam's design, location, and purpose make it a valuable asset in managing water resources and protecting downstream areas from potential flooding events. With its state jurisdiction, regulatory oversight, and operational functionality, SCS-Roaring Creek Site-013 showcases the collaborative efforts of government agencies in safeguarding communities and natural habitats from the impacts of extreme weather events.

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.
