Scs-Little Deep Fork Creek Site-44 Reservoir Report
Last Updated: February 24, 2026
SCS-Little Deep Fork Creek Site-44, located in Slick, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS in 1960 for flood risk reduction on TR-Skull Creek.
Summary
With a structural height of 30 feet and a length of 960 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 585 acre-feet and a surface area of 11 acres. The dam features a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate for water release.
Despite being rated as having low hazard potential, SCS-Little Deep Fork Creek Site-44 is considered to have a very high risk level due to its age and lack of recent condition assessments. The dam has not been inspected since 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While the dam is currently in a not-rated condition, it is crucial for the state regulatory agency, OWRB, to conduct a thorough assessment and implement necessary risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure for flood control and water resource management in the region.

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.
