SCS-Finn Creek Site-005, located in McClain County, Oklahoma, was designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1964 with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Finn Creek.
This earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and stretches 1550 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 604 acre-feet with a normal storage of 103 acre-feet. The controlled spillway type and valve outlet gate contribute to its low hazard potential.
Despite being last inspected in 1980, the dam at SCS-Finn Creek Site-005 has a very high risk rating due to its age and lack of recent assessments. However, with state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place, the dam continues to serve its flood risk reduction function effectively. The dam's association with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) ensures that it meets state guidelines and remains a crucial infrastructure for protecting the surrounding area from potential inundation events.
