SCS-Cavalry Creek Site-07a, located in Cloud Chief, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated earth dam designed by USDA NRCS to primarily reduce flood risk along the TR-SOUTH FORK CAVALRY CR river or stream.
Completed in 1959, this dam stands at a height of 36 feet and spans 800 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 900 acre-feet. Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for this site is considered very high.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), SCS-Cavalry Creek Site-07a features a controlled spillway with a width of 2 feet and one outlet gate. Although the dam's condition has not been recently assessed, it is currently not rated for its condition. With a maximum discharge of 9300 cubic feet per second, this site plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks and protecting the surrounding Washita County from potential inundation events. Overall, SCS-Cavalry Creek Site-07a serves as a vital piece of infrastructure in the region's water resource and climate management efforts.
