Completed in 1959, this dam stands at a height of 36 feet and stretches 1400 feet in length, providing a maximum storage capacity of 2666 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Fitzpatrick Creek in the city of Payne School and is overseen by the state regulatory agency OWRB.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the dam at SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-019 is rated as having a very high risk due to its age and condition assessment not being rated. The last inspection date was recorded in 1980, with a recommended inspection frequency of every 5 years. The spillway type is controlled with a width of 2 feet, and the dam is equipped with a single valve outlet gate. While the risk assessment is high, the emergency action plan status and risk management measures for this site are currently unavailable, indicating a potential area for improvement in ensuring the safety and stability of the dam in case of any emergencies.
