Summary
Completed in 1958, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet with a hydraulic height of 22 feet and a structural height of 27 feet. It has a storage capacity of 506 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 111 acre-feet, with a maximum discharge of 3,696 cubic feet per second.
The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate consisting of one valve. Although the hazard potential is rated as low, the risk assessment for this dam is categorized as very high (1). The last inspection date was in 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years, and the condition assessment is currently listed as not rated. The dam is under the jurisdiction of the OWRB and is situated along TR-Mill Creek, under the stewardship of the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Overall, SCS-Mill Creek Site-02 serves as a vital infrastructure for flood risk reduction in Murray County, Oklahoma. With its strategic location and design, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and protecting the surrounding communities from potential flooding events. As a state-regulated structure with a low hazard potential but high risk assessment, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure the continued safety and effectiveness of this important water resource facility.

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.
