Summary
Completed in 1966, this earth dam stands at a height of 33 feet with a hydraulic height of 28 feet, serving to store a maximum capacity of 1210 acre-feet of water. With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, the dam spans a length of 1570 feet and covers a surface area of 27 acres.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this low hazard potential structure has not been rated for its condition assessment, with the last inspection dating back to 1980. Despite its age, the dam continues to mitigate flood risks efficiently in the region, boasting a very high risk assessment ranking of 1. While no emergency action plan has been prepared to date, the dam's state jurisdiction and enforcement ensure operational and regulatory compliance for the safety and security of the surrounding community.
As a vital component of the flood risk reduction infrastructure in Murray County, Oklahoma, SCS-Rock Creek Site-06 plays a crucial role in managing water resources along TR-Guy Sandy Creek. With its stone core and soil foundations, this dam stands as a testament to the commitment to environmental stewardship and public safety by the state regulatory agency, OWRB. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the resilience and effectiveness of structures like SCS-Rock Creek Site-06 are essential in safeguarding communities and ecosystems from the threats of flooding and extreme weather events.

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.
