Summary
Completed in 1967, this Earth dam stands at 34 feet tall and spans a length of 1010 feet, with a storage capacity of 295 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment is classified as very high, emphasizing the need for effective risk management measures.
Managed by the Oklahoma State regulatory agency OWRB, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-087 features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. While the dam has not been inspected since 1980, its condition is currently marked as "Not Rated." The surrounding area is at significant risk due to the high potential for inundation, calling for improved emergency preparedness and risk assessment strategies to ensure the safety and resilience of the community in the event of a flood or other water-related emergencies. Overall, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-087 serves as a critical infrastructure for flood control in the region, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks effectively.

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.
