Summary
Built in 1967 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam stands at 32 feet tall and stretches 740 feet in length, providing flood risk reduction for the area. With a normal storage capacity of 26 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 146 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in Stephens County.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-090 has a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. Despite not being inspected since 1980, this dam remains in a not rated condition, highlighting the need for updated assessments and potential risk management measures. With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, this dam ensures the safety and protection of the surrounding community in the event of a flood event.
Climate and water resource enthusiasts will appreciate the strategic location and design features of SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-090, as well as the collaborative efforts between state agencies and the USDA NRCS in its construction and regulation. As efforts continue to enhance dam safety and emergency preparedness, this site serves as a critical infrastructure for flood risk reduction and water management in the region, showcasing the importance of sustainable water resource practices and climate resilience measures.

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.
