Summary

Built in 1967 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. With a normal storage capacity of 39 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 980 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.

The dam has a controlled spillway type with a width of 1 foot and is equipped with a slide (sluice gate) for water release. It has a high hazard potential and a fair condition assessment as of the last inspection in October 2011. The dam's risk assessment is classified as very high, highlighting the importance of ongoing risk management measures. Overall, SCS-Stillwater Creek Site-24 serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management and flood control in Payne County, Oklahoma.

Managed by the OWRB and falling under the jurisdiction of the state, this dam is subject to regular inspection, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and operational effectiveness. The dam's location, design, and storage capacity make it a key component in the region's water resource infrastructure. As climate change continues to impact hydrological patterns, the role of dams like SCS-Stillwater Creek Site-24 becomes increasingly important in mitigating flood risks and ensuring water security for the local community.

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.
