Summary
Completed in 1963, this earth dam stands at 35 feet high with a hydraulic height of 31 feet and a length of 715 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 187 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 67 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region.
The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate consisting of a single valve. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Sugar Creek Site-027 indicates a very high risk level. The condition assessment is currently listed as "not rated," with the last inspection taking place in 1980. The dam is under the jurisdiction of the OWRB and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement, ensuring its continued operation and safety for the surrounding community.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the data for SCS-Sugar Creek Site-027 provides valuable insights into the infrastructure that helps manage water resources and mitigate flood risks in Oklahoma. The dam's design, height, and storage capacity showcase its importance in safeguarding the area from potential flooding events. With the dam being state-regulated and maintained by the USDA NRCS, it serves as a critical piece of infrastructure in the region's water management system. As efforts to address climate change and water resource sustainability continue, understanding the functionality and condition of structures like SCS-Sugar Creek Site-027 is essential for ensuring the resilience of communities and environments in the face of evolving climate challenges.

Dam Data Reference
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.
