Summary

Completed in 1966, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 36 feet and has a length of 3600 feet, providing a storage capacity of 1203 acre-feet. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for this dam indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its integrity.

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, SCS-Cane Creek Site-29 features a controlled spillway, one outlet valve, and has not been rated for its current condition. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are all currently unspecified. With a maximum discharge capacity of 966 cubic feet per second and a normal storage capacity of 127 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region. Additionally, its association with flood risk reduction as its primary purpose underscores its significance in protecting the surrounding community and environment from potential water-related hazards.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
