Summary
This Earth-type dam stands at a height of 34 feet and has a hydraulic height of 31 feet, with a length of 3780 feet and a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk level according to the risk assessment.
Managed by the OWRB and owned by the state of Oklahoma, this dam has a controlled spillway type and is equipped with a single valve outlet gate. The dam has not been inspected since 1980, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. While its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," the risk level indicates a need for potential risk management measures to be implemented in the future to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
Overall, the SCS-South Clinton Laterals Site-102 serves as an essential infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the Washita River region, highlighting the importance of water resource management and climate resilience in the face of increasing environmental challenges. Enthusiasts in these fields can appreciate the intricate details of this dam's design, construction, and regulatory oversight as part of the broader efforts to protect communities and natural habitats from the impacts of extreme weather events and water-related hazards.

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.
