Summary
Completed in 1964, this dam stands at a height of 37 feet and has a storage capacity of 506 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and one outlet valve, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area, particularly along Plum Creek.
Despite its fair condition assessment, SCS-Sargeant Major Creek Site-6 is classified as having a significant hazard potential, indicating the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The dam has a very high risk assessment rating, emphasizing the need for robust risk management measures and emergency action plans. With a history of state oversight and inspection, this dam serves as a vital component of the region's water resource infrastructure, ensuring the safety and security of surrounding communities in the face of potential flooding events.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and situated within the Tulsa District, SCS-Sargeant Major Creek Site-6 is a key asset for flood risk reduction in the region. With its strategic location along Plum Creek and its critical role in water management, this dam represents a significant investment in safeguarding the area against the impacts of extreme weather events and climate variability. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to recognize the importance of infrastructure like SCS-Sargeant Major Creek Site-6 in building resilient communities and protecting our natural resources for future generations.

Dam Data Reference
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.
