Summary
Completed in 1966, this dam stands at 27 feet high with a hydraulic height of 23 feet and a length of 610 feet, providing a storage capacity of 258 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this dam serves as a crucial infrastructure for managing water resources in Caddo County.
Despite its age, SCS-Sugar Creek Site-037 has not been inspected since 1980, highlighting the need for updated assessment and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction. The dam is equipped with one valve outlet gate and has a very high risk assessment rating, emphasizing the importance of proper risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards. With the state's jurisdiction and regulatory agency overseeing its operations, it is essential to address any deficiencies in its condition assessment and emergency action plans to enhance overall safety and resilience in the face of climate challenges.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to monitor and advocate for the proper maintenance and management of critical infrastructure like SCS-Sugar Creek Site-037. By staying informed about the dam's condition, risk assessment, and regulatory oversight, we can contribute to the preservation of this essential flood risk reduction system and ensure the safety of surrounding communities and ecosystems in Caddo, Oklahoma.

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.
