Summary
Completed in 1962, the earth dam stands at a height of 38 feet and stretches 1000 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 312 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 1065 cubic feet per second. The dam features a controlled spillway and one outlet valve, with a hazard potential rated as low and a risk assessment classifying it as very high.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, SCS-Roaring Creek Site-017 has not been inspected since 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While the dam is currently in a not-rated condition assessment, it is crucial for the regulatory agency to conduct a thorough evaluation to ensure its structural integrity and functionality in mitigating flood risks. With its location along the TR-Roaring Creek and in close proximity to the city of Bradley, the dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events and underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to safeguard water resources and communities from climate-related threats.

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.
