Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 45 feet and has a hydraulic height of 41 feet, completed in 1963. With a storage capacity of 631 acre-feet and a normal storage of 139 acre-feet, this dam on TR-Sugar Creek plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing flood risks in the area.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Sugar Creek Site-028 indicates a very high risk, signaling the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance. The dam features a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate, with a maximum discharge capacity of 2670 cubic feet per second. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam has undergone inspections every 5 years, with the last inspection dating back to January 1980.
Overall, SCS-Sugar Creek Site-028 serves as a vital infrastructure for flood control in Caddo County, Oklahoma, under the jurisdiction of the OWRB. With its strategic location and design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam stands as a testament to effective water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region. Ongoing risk management measures and regular inspections are essential to ensure the continued safety and effectiveness of this important structure.

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.
