SCS-Roaring Creek Site-017 is a state-regulated dam located in Grady, Oklahoma, designed by the USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction.
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.
