Built in 1966 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Washita River. Standing at a height of 38 feet with a length of 1230 feet, the dam has a maximum storage capacity of 805 acre-feet and a normal storage of 212 acre-feet.
With a controlled spillway and a hazard potential rated as low, SCS-Oak Creek Site-010 is considered to have a very high risk level of 1. Despite the last inspection being conducted in 1980, the dam is equipped with a single valve outlet gate and remains in a condition that has not been rated. While the dam is not under the jurisdiction of a federal agency, it is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB). For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this site offers a glimpse into the management and infrastructure of flood risk reduction in the region.
