Summary

This reservoir, managed by the USDA NRCS, serves as a vital water supply for the surrounding area, with a primary purpose of water supply. The dam, constructed in 1968, stands at 73 feet high and has a storage capacity of 14,684 acre-feet.

Situated in Creek County, Oklahoma, this site plays a crucial role in water management, with a drainage area of 16.2 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 6,140 cubic feet per second. The controlled spillway, outlet gates, and valve system enhance the efficiency and safety of the dam, ensuring proper regulation of water levels. Despite a high hazard potential, the overall condition assessment of the dam is fair, indicating the need for continued monitoring and maintenance.

With a risk assessment rating of Very High (1), it is evident that the safety and functionality of SCS-Salt-Camp Creek Site-12 are of utmost importance. The involvement of state regulatory agencies, such as OWRB, in permitting, inspecting, and enforcing regulations ensures that this critical water resource remains secure and operational. As a key player in water resource management, this site serves as a cornerstone for sustainable water supply in the region, highlighting the intersection of water resources and climate resilience.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
