Summary
Built in 1969 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and spans a length of 3810 feet. Its primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with a storage capacity of 281 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 1350 cubic feet per second.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, SCS-Oak Creek Site-001 is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the dam is categorized as having a very high risk due to its location on Oak Creek. The structure features a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and is constructed with stone core and soil foundation.
Although the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, it undergoes inspections every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in 1980. With its strategic location and crucial role in flood prevention, SCS-Oak Creek Site-001 serves as a significant water resource in Washita County, Oklahoma, for both water management and climate resilience efforts.

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.
