This Earth dam, constructed in 1970 by USDA NRCS, stands at a height of 31 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. With a maximum storage capacity of 903 acre-feet and a normal storage of 266 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area.
The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 2 feet and an outlet gate consisting of a single valve. Despite being classified as low hazard potential, SCS-Sugar Creek Site-004a is identified as having a very high risk level, with a Risk Assessment rating of 1. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in 1980, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. While the dam's condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," its emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk management measures remain unspecified.
In the event of an emergency, the dam does not have updated emergency contacts or inundation maps prepared. However, as a crucial infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the area, SCS-Sugar Creek Site-004a continues to be monitored and regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) to ensure the safety and security of the surrounding community and water resources.
