Summary
Built in 1962 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a length of 1200 feet. It has a storage capacity of 581 acre-feet and a normal storage of 133 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-Roaring Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Roaring Creek Site-015 indicates a very high risk level. The inspection frequency is every 5 years, with the last inspection date recorded in 1980. The dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam has not undergone any modifications in recent years.
Overall, SCS-Roaring Creek Site-015 serves as a crucial infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the area, with a significant storage capacity and structural height. However, the high risk level highlights the importance of regular inspections and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety and functionality of the dam for the surrounding community and environment.

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.
