SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-070 is a state-regulated flood risk reduction structure located in Stephens County, Oklahoma.
Designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 1966, this earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and spans 820 feet in length. It serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction on TR-OWENS CREEK, with a maximum storage capacity of 143 acre-feet.
Despite its low hazard potential, this dam poses a very high risk due to its age and lack of recent condition assessments. It has a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. The structure has not been modified in recent years and has not undergone a condition assessment, making its current state unknown. With a risk level of 1, there is a need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this essential water resource infrastructure.
