Summary
Built in 1961 by USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 39 feet and spans 3857 feet in length. With a maximum storage capacity of 516 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 141 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing the risk of flooding in the area.
The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. Despite being assessed as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Quartermaster Creek Site-25 indicates a very high risk level. However, the condition of the dam has not been rated, and the last inspection conducted was back in 1980. With the dam being state-regulated and undergoing regular inspections, it serves as a vital infrastructure for flood protection in Custer County, Oklahoma.
While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified in the data, the presence of state regulatory oversight, including inspection, permitting, and enforcement, ensures that the structure is monitored and maintained to meet safety standards. As one of the many dams in the Tulsa District operated by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, SCS-Quartermaster Creek Site-25 highlights the importance of effective water resource management and climate resilience efforts in safeguarding communities against the impacts of extreme weather events.

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.
