Summary
Completed in 1964, this dam stands at a height of 36 feet with a hydraulic height of 34 feet and a length of 3770 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 178 acre-feet and a normal storage of 67 acre-feet, this structure plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area.
Managed by the OWRB and with a controlled spillway type, SCS-Beaver Creek Site-02c has a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. Equipped with one valve outlet gate, this dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and has not had a documented inspection since January 1980. Despite its age, the dam continues to serve its primary purpose effectively and remains an important asset for flood control in Custer County, Oklahoma.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the infrastructure and condition of dams like SCS-Beaver Creek Site-02c is crucial for ensuring the safety and efficiency of our water management systems. With its history of flood risk reduction and its strategic location along TR-Beaver Creek, this earth dam remains a key component in the efforts to protect communities and properties from potential water-related disasters in the region.

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.
