SCS-Sandstone Creek Site-016, located in Roger Mills, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated dam designed by USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along Sandstone Creek.
Completed in 1952, this earth dam stands at a height of 55 feet and has a hydraulic height of 49 feet, with a storage capacity of 4,960 acre-feet. The dam also features a controlled spillway with a width of 4 feet and a valve outlet gate.
Despite being classified with a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Sandstone Creek Site-016 indicates a very high risk level due to its condition not being rated and lacking emergency action plans. Although last inspected in 1980, the dam is still in operation and undergoes inspections every five years. The dam's primary purpose remains flood risk reduction, serving as a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in the area.
