Summary
Completed in 1962, this dam stands at a height of 47 feet and has a storage capacity of 524 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate, this dam serves as a crucial infrastructure for managing water resources in the region.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Quartermaster Creek Site-02 indicates a very high risk level, underscoring the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The last inspection date recorded was in 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While the condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," the dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures remain unspecified, indicating potential areas for improvement in emergency preparedness.
As a key component in the flood risk reduction strategy for the area, SCS-Quartermaster Creek Site-02 plays a vital role in safeguarding the local community and environment from potential water-related hazards. With its stone core and soil foundation, this dam exemplifies the collaboration between state and federal agencies in ensuring the resilience of water infrastructure in 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.
