Completed in 1962, this dam stands at 22 feet high with a length of 1160 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 173 acre-feet and a normal storage of 90 acre-feet. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate valve for water release.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-064 is rated as a very high risk due to its proximity to populated areas. The dam has not been inspected since 1980, with a recommended inspection frequency of every 5 years. The condition assessment is currently not rated, and there is no emergency action plan in place. With its critical role in flood risk reduction, it is essential for regulatory agencies and stakeholders to prioritize the safety and maintenance of this important water resource in Oklahoma.
