Summary
Completed in 1968, this dam stands at 29 feet high with a storage capacity of 151 acre-feet and a spillway width of 1 foot. With a hazard potential rated as high and a condition assessment of fair, the dam is inspected annually to ensure its structural integrity.
Located in Maysville, Oklahoma, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. Despite its age, SCS-Finn Creek Site-016 continues to serve its primary purpose effectively, with a normalized storage capacity of 34 acre-feet. The dam's risk assessment is classified as very high, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to mitigate potential hazards.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam is a key asset in the flood risk reduction efforts in the region. The presence of a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate further enhances the dam's functionality and safety measures. As climate change continues to affect water resources, the significance of structures like SCS-Finn Creek Site-016 in ensuring community resilience and safety cannot be overstated.

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.
