Summary
Completed in 1960, this dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a length of 1840 feet, providing a storage capacity of 1238 acre-feet and a surface area of 75 acres. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 2 feet and an outlet gate consisting of one valve.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Peavine Creek Site-05 ranks it as very high (1). The condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated", with the last inspection date recorded in 1980 and an inspection frequency of 5 years. The dam is not owned by a federal agency, but is under state jurisdiction and regulation by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. The site is situated within the Tulsa District and has Tom Cole (R) as its Congressional representative. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, SCS-Peavine Creek Site-05 presents an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure and risk management in the state of Oklahoma.

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.
