Summary
This dam, with a height of 33 feet and a hydraulic height of 30 feet, serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-GUY SANDY CREEK. With a normal storage capacity of 90 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 193 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, SCS-Rock Creek Site-07 boasts a controlled spillway, an outlet gate valve, and a low hazard potential. Despite being last inspected in 1980, this dam has a very high risk assessment rating of 1, signifying the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction. In the event of an emergency, the dam's Emergency Action Plan status and risk management measures remain unspecified, highlighting the need for proactive preparedness and response strategies.
With its strategic location and significant contribution to flood risk reduction efforts in the area, SCS-Rock Creek Site-07 stands as a vital piece of infrastructure managed by the state of Oklahoma. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the intricacies of this dam's design, operation, and maintenance is essential in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the impacts of extreme weather events and flooding.

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.
