Completed in 1963, this 38-foot tall structure spans 870 feet with a storage capacity of 244 acre-feet. The dam features a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate for water management.
Despite being rated as low hazard potential, the dam at SCS-Sargeant Major Creek Site-5 poses a very high risk due to its age and lack of recent inspections. The condition assessment has not been rated, and emergency action plans have not been updated since at least 1980. With a maximum discharge of 755 cubic feet per second, it is crucial that risk management measures are put in place to ensure the safety and integrity of this important flood control structure.
Located in the Tulsa District and under state jurisdiction by the OWRB, SCS-Sargeant Major Creek Site-5 serves as a vital component in the flood risk reduction efforts in the region. With proper maintenance and regular inspections, this earth dam can continue to protect the surrounding areas from potential flooding events.
