Summary
Completed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and spans a length of 1200 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 414 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is subject to state inspection and enforcement.
Although the hazard potential of SCS-Little Deep Fork Creek Site-34 is categorized as low, its risk assessment is very high, indicating potential vulnerabilities that need to be addressed. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its last inspection dates back to 1980, with a scheduled inspection frequency of 5 years. Despite the lack of recent data on its condition, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not available, highlighting potential gaps in emergency preparedness.
Overall, SCS-Little Deep Fork Creek Site-34 serves a critical role in flood risk reduction in the Tulsa District, but its outdated inspection records and lack of information on emergency preparedness warrant further attention to ensure the safety and resilience of this water resource infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
