Completed in 1966, this dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a hydraulic height of 30 feet. It has a storage capacity of 306 acre-feet and a surface area of 9 acres, serving as a crucial structure for managing water resources in the region.
Located in Grady County, the dam spans 1105 feet along the TR-East Winter Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. With a controlled spillway and one outlet gate, the dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite its age, the dam still plays a vital role in mitigating flood risks and ensuring water resource sustainability in the area.
Although last inspected in 1980, SCS-Winter Creek Site-07 continues to serve its purpose effectively with a very high risk assessment rating. While it may not have a detailed risk management plan in place, the dam remains a vital infrastructure for protecting the surrounding community and maintaining the ecological balance of the watershed.
