Summary
With a height of 34 feet and a hydraulic height of 30 feet, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 52 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 151 acre-feet, with a surface area of 9 acres.
Despite its fair condition assessment and high hazard potential, SCS-Quartermaster Creek Site-19a has a very high risk assessment rating, indicating the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction. The dam features a controlled spillway, one outlet gate, and a valve system. The last inspection date was in January 2012, with a mandated inspection frequency of 1 year. The dam is under the regulatory authority of the OWRB, ensuring that proper permitting, inspection, and enforcement measures are in place to safeguard the community and environment.
The location of SCS-Quartermaster Creek Site-19a near the TR N.BRANCH QUARTERMASTER CR. in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma, further underscores its importance in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the region. With its significant storage capacity and strategic design, this dam serves as a critical infrastructure asset for the area, requiring ongoing attention and proactive risk management measures to uphold its integrity and protect the community from potential water-related hazards.

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.
