SCS-Winter Creek Site-13, located in Grady County, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated Earth dam constructed in 1966 by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along the TR-LAFLIN CR stream.
Standing at a height of 39 feet with a hydraulic height of 36 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 416 acre-feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. With a low hazard potential and not yet rated for condition assessment, SCS-Winter Creek Site-13 is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for efficient water management.
Although last inspected in 1980, this dam remains in operation with regular state inspections, permitting, and enforcement conducted by the OWRB. Despite its very high risk assessment rating, with a risk level of 1, the dam currently lacks a detailed emergency action plan and inundation maps. However, with state jurisdiction and regulatory oversight in place, SCS-Winter Creek Site-13 continues to play a crucial role in water resource management and flood protection efforts in the region. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this site offers a fascinating case study on the intersection of infrastructure, environmental protection, and risk mitigation strategies.
