Summary
Built in 1969 by USDA NRCS, this dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Washita River. With a structural height of 54 feet and a maximum storage capacity of 1271 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood hazards in the region.
Although the hazard potential of SCS-Oak Creek Site-009 is rated as low, its risk assessment is classified as very high, indicating the importance of timely maintenance and monitoring. Despite being last inspected in 1980, the dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate to manage water discharge effectively. The dam's condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated", highlighting the need for a thorough evaluation to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the surrounding community.
With its location in the Washita County of Oklahoma, SCS-Oak Creek Site-009 stands as a vital infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience in the area. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to recognize the significance of maintaining and monitoring such structures to safeguard against potential risks and ensure sustainable water management practices for the future.

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.
