Summary
Designed by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 52 feet and was completed in 1966 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Oak Creek. The dam has a storage capacity of 256 acre-feet and a surface area of 9 acres, with a controlled spillway width of 1 foot.
Despite its low hazard potential, SCS-Oak Creek Site-002b is in very high risk due to its outdated last inspection date of January 1, 1980. The dam's condition assessment is not rated, and there is no emergency action plan (EAP) prepared or updated. With an inspection frequency of 5 years, it is crucial for the responsible agency, OWRB, to prioritize a comprehensive evaluation of the dam's current condition and implement necessary risk management measures to ensure the safety and functionality of this vital flood control structure in Washita County.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts should take note of SCS-Oak Creek Site-002b's significant role in flood risk reduction within the Tulsa District. As the dam's structural integrity and maintenance are essential for protecting downstream communities and infrastructure, ongoing monitoring and enforcement by the state regulatory agency are crucial. This site serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive dam safety practices to mitigate potential hazards and ensure sustainable water resource management in the region.

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.
