Scs-Beaver Creek Site-02a Reservoir Report
Last Updated: February 5, 2026
SCS-Beaver Creek Site-02a is a state-regulated dam located in Arapaho, Oklahoma, with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction.
Summary
Built in 1964 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 50 feet and has a hydraulic height of 43 feet. With a storage capacity of 680 acre-feet and a normal storage of 263 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow along the TR-Beaver Creek.
Despite its low hazard potential, the SCS-Beaver Creek Site-02a dam is considered to have a very high risk level, with a risk assessment rating of 1. Although the condition of the dam is currently not rated, it has a controlled spillway and one outlet valve. The last inspection of the dam took place in 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While it meets state jurisdiction and permitting requirements, further risk management measures may be needed to ensure the safety and stability of this important water resource infrastructure.

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.
