Summary
Completed in 1963, this structure stands at a height of 43 feet and has a storage capacity of 465 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, the dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction in the area.
Managed by the OWRB, this dam has not been inspected since 1980 and has a very high risk assessment rating of 1. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated", suggesting a need for further evaluation. It is important for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the maintenance and inspection efforts for SCS-Sugar Creek Site-041 to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction and public safety.
With a stone core and soil foundation, this dam on the TR-Devils Canyon river plays a crucial role in managing water flow and mitigating flood risks in the Caddo County area of Oklahoma. As climate change continues to impact water resources and weather patterns, the proper management and maintenance of structures like SCS-Sugar Creek Site-041 are essential for protecting communities and ecosystems in the region.

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.
