Summary
Completed in 1964, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 29 feet, with a hydraulic height of 25 feet and a length of 1050 feet. With a storage capacity of 459 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 1015 cubic feet per second, this structure serves a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Owned by the state of Oklahoma and regulated by the OWRB, the SCS-Rock Creek Site-02 has a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. Although last inspected in 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years, the condition of the dam is currently not rated. It features a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and a stone core foundation. Despite its age, this dam continues to play a vital role in mitigating flood risks and protecting the surrounding areas from potential water-related disasters.
The SCS-Rock Creek Site-02 is a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate resilience. As climate change continues to pose challenges to water availability and flood risks, structures like this serve as critical infrastructure for safeguarding communities and ecosystems. With its strategic location and design, this dam exemplifies the collaborative efforts between federal and state agencies in ensuring the safety and well-being of the residents in Murray County, Oklahoma.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
