Summary
Completed in 1963, this dam stands at a height of 31 feet and has a hydraulic height of 27 feet, with a total length of 585 feet. It has a maximum storage capacity of 372 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 121 acre-feet, serving as a crucial asset for managing water resources in the area.
This site, situated along the TR-Sugar Creek, is inspected every five years and is classified as having a low hazard potential. Despite being rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, the risk assessment for SCS-Sugar Creek Site-014 is very high (1), highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance. With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, this dam plays a vital role in mitigating the impact of potential flooding events in the region.
As a key component of the flood risk reduction infrastructure in Caddo County, Oklahoma, SCS-Sugar Creek Site-014 demonstrates the collaborative efforts between state and federal agencies in ensuring the safety and resilience of water resources in the area. With its strategic location and design features, this earth dam serves as a testament to the proactive measures taken to protect communities and ecosystems from the impacts of extreme weather events and climate change.

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.
