Summary
The dam, made of stone with a soil foundation, stands at a height of 34 feet and has a hydraulic height of 32 feet. It spans 950 feet in length and has a normal storage capacity of 30 acre-feet, serving as a crucial infrastructure for managing the flow of the TR-White Bread Creek.
Despite its age, the dam at SCS-Sugar Creek Site-034 is deemed to have a low hazard potential with a very high risk assessment rating of 1. The structure, with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, has not been rated for its current condition. While it has not been inspected since 1980, the site is under state jurisdiction with permitting, inspection, and enforcement responsibilities falling under the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB). This data highlights the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance of water resource infrastructure to ensure its effectiveness and safety in the face of climate variability.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the details of sites like SCS-Sugar Creek Site-034 is vital for assessing the resilience of our infrastructure in the face of changing environmental conditions. With a focus on flood risk reduction and a history dating back to the late 1960s, this structure serves as a testament to the ongoing efforts to manage water resources effectively in Caddo, Oklahoma. The data provided sheds light on the technical specifications, regulatory oversight, and risk assessment associated with this site, offering valuable insights for those interested in sustainable water management practices.

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.
