Completed in 1963, this dam stands at 38 feet high, with a hydraulic height of 33 feet and a structural height of 38 feet. With a storage capacity of 1250 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 309 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing the risk of flooding in the area.
The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. Despite being assessed as in fair condition in 2011, it has a high hazard potential due to its location and design. The risk assessment for SCS-Sugar Creek Site-021 is very high, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its effectiveness in flood risk reduction. With a risk management plan in place and state regulatory oversight, this dam serves as a vital infrastructure for protecting the surrounding community and water resources.
Managed by the Oklahoma State agency OWRB, this dam is a key component of water resource management in Caddo County. With its strategic location along Devils Canyon and a drainage area that benefits from its flood risk reduction capabilities, SCS-Sugar Creek Site-021 is a critical infrastructure asset in the region. As climate change impacts continue to exacerbate flooding events, the importance of well-maintained and regulated dams like SCS-Sugar Creek Site-021 cannot be overstated in safeguarding communities and ecosystems from water-related risks.
