Summary
Built in 1967 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and spans a length of 1300 feet along the TR-Wildhorse Creek. With a storage capacity of 205 acre-feet, the dam serves as a crucial infrastructure for managing water resources in the region.
Despite its age, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-002 has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. The dam features a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and has not undergone any modifications since its completion. While last inspected in 1980, the dam is still subject to regular inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity and overall safety. With a very high risk assessment score of 1, efforts to further assess and manage potential risks associated with the dam are ongoing.
Overall, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-002 stands as a vital component in the water resource infrastructure of Oklahoma. Its role in flood risk reduction along TR-Wildhorse Creek highlights the importance of maintaining and monitoring such structures to protect surrounding communities and ecosystems from potential water-related hazards. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the resilience of dams like SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-002 will be crucial in adapting to changing environmental conditions and ensuring sustainable water management practices.

Dam Data Reference
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.
