Summary
Completed in 1969, this dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a storage capacity of 187 acre-feet. It is situated on the TR-Sandy Creek and is under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-113 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area. Despite not being inspected since 1980, this dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. The surrounding area, including the city of Davis, benefits from the protection provided by this structure in the event of heavy rainfall or increased water flow in the creek.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the design and function of dams like SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-113 is essential for appreciating the role of these structures in managing water resources and protecting communities from potential flood events. The collaboration between state and federal agencies, along with regular inspections and maintenance, ensures the continued effectiveness of this dam in safeguarding the region against flood risks.

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.
