Summary
Completed in 1964, this dam stands at a height of 26 feet and spans a length of 740 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 184 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the region.
Owned by the state of Oklahoma and regulated by the OWRB, SCS-Rock Creek Site-08 is equipped with a single valve outlet gate and has not been rated for its current condition. Despite its age, this dam continues to serve its purpose effectively, with a very high risk assessment rating of 1. While the last inspection dates back to 1980, the structure's emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unspecified, indicating a potential area of improvement in ensuring the safety and resilience of this water resource infrastructure for the future.
As a part of the Fort Worth District under the management of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, SCS-Rock Creek Site-08 stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to maintain and enhance water resource infrastructure for flood risk reduction in Oklahoma. With its strategic location and crucial role in protecting the surrounding areas from inundation, this dam serves as a vital component in the state's water management system, demonstrating the importance of sustainable water resource practices in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing infrastructure demands.

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.
