Summary
Completed in 1962, this dam stands at a height of 25 feet with a hydraulic height of 22 feet and a length of 3435 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 107 acre-feet and a spillway width of 1 foot, capable of handling a maximum discharge of 670 cubic feet per second.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Quartermaster Creek Site-14 indicates a very high risk level. This suggests the need for proactive risk management measures to address potential safety concerns. Although the dam's condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," regular inspections are conducted every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. The dam is equipped with a valve outlet gate to control water flow and reduce flood risk in the surrounding area.
In the event of an emergency, it is important for the responsible authorities to have an updated Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place to effectively respond to any potential risks or incidents. The dam is under the jurisdiction of the OWRB and is subject to state regulatory oversight, including permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With its strategic location and critical purpose in flood risk reduction, SCS-Quartermaster Creek Site-14 plays a vital role in protecting the local community and environment 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.
