Completed in 1964, this dam stands at a height of 36 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 247 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and one outlet valve, the dam has a low hazard potential but is classified as having a very high risk assessment, indicating the importance of regular inspections and maintenance.
Despite being last inspected in 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years, the condition of SCS-Upper Washita Creek Site-063 remains unrated. The dam's purpose of flood risk reduction underscores its critical role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. With the risk management measures and emergency action plan details yet to be fully assessed and updated, there is a need for continued oversight and preparedness to mitigate any potential risks associated with this important water resource infrastructure in Oklahoma.
