Completed in 1958, this dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a storage capacity of 795 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Clear Creek, the dam has a controlled spillway and is equipped with a valve outlet gate for water release. Despite being rated as having a significant hazard potential, the dam's condition is assessed as fair, with a very high risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, this dam is inspected every three years, with the last inspection conducted in October 2011. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are not currently available. Representative Tom Cole (R) oversees this area in Congress, and the dam is located in the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With its crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-024 serves as an important component of water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Oklahoma.
