Summary
Completed in 1965, this dam stands at a height of 68 feet and has a length of 1700 feet, providing a storage capacity of 4045 acre-feet. The dam, situated on Peachland Creek in the city of Wister, is under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is inspected regularly to ensure its structural integrity and functionality.
With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, SCS-Fourche Maline Creek Site-14 is crucial for mitigating flood risks in the region. The dam features a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and stone core construction on a soil foundation. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated as of the last inspection in 1980. The site also lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps, highlighting the need for updated risk management measures to enhance preparedness and response in case of emergencies.
As part of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, this dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from flooding events. With its strategic location and design features, SCS-Fourche Maline Creek Site-14 serves as a critical water resource infrastructure in Oklahoma, emphasizing the importance of ongoing maintenance and monitoring to ensure its effectiveness in flood risk reduction efforts.

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.
