Summary
Standing at a height of 47 feet, with a hydraulic height and structural height also at 47 feet, the dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction on the TR-Wildcat Creek. With a storage capacity of 579 acre-feet, the dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-089 indicates a very high risk level (1). The dam has not been inspected since January 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5. While the condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," the dam has not had a risk management plan or emergency action plan prepared or updated. The dam is in the jurisdiction of the OWRB and is under state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-089 an intriguing subject for further study due to its historical significance, design characteristics, and risk assessment. The dam's location in Davis, Oklahoma, and its association with flood risk reduction on TR-Wildcat Creek make it a critical piece of infrastructure to monitor and evaluate for its impact on water resources and climate resilience in the region.

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.
