Scs-Barnitz Creek Site-008 Reservoir Report
Last Updated: December 6, 2025
SCS-Barnitz Creek Site-008 is a state-regulated earth dam located in Clinton, Oklahoma, designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1955 for flood risk reduction along the TR-West Barnitz Creek.

Summary
Standing at a height of 49 feet with a hydraulic height of 44 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 1120 acre-feet and a normal storage of 502 acre-feet. The spillway type is controlled with a width of 2 feet, and the dam features a single valve outlet gate for water control.
With a low hazard potential but a very high risk assessment rating, SCS-Barnitz Creek Site-008 has not been inspected since 1980 and is currently listed as in "Not Rated" condition. The dam poses a risk due to its outdated inspection records and lack of emergency action plan preparedness. Despite its low hazard potential, the very high risk assessment highlights the importance of updating inspection records, implementing risk management measures, and preparing an emergency action plan to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam in case of emergencies.

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.
