SCS-Sugar Creek Site-025, located in Gracemont, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated dam designed by the USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction.
Completed in 1967, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and has a hydraulic height of 25 feet, providing critical protection to the surrounding area along Kohnoosky Creek. With a significant hazard potential and a fair condition assessment, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region.
Owned by the state of Oklahoma and regulated by the OWRB, SCS-Sugar Creek Site-025 has a normal storage capacity of 188 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 621 acre-feet. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. Despite its fair condition, the dam has a very high risk assessment rating, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction.
With a risk management plan yet to be fully detailed and a last inspection date in 2011, SCS-Sugar Creek Site-025 presents an opportunity for enhanced emergency preparedness and risk mitigation measures. As climate change continues to impact water resources and increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, the role of dams like SCS-Sugar Creek Site-025 in protecting communities from flooding becomes ever more crucial.
