Summary
This flood risk reduction structure was completed in 1949 by the USDA NRCS and stands at a height of 43 feet with a length of 980 feet. With a storage capacity of 587 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1.57 square miles, the dam on Five Mile Creek serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction.
Despite its age, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-007 remains in fair condition with a high hazard potential. The dam features a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate for water management. The risk assessment for this site indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. While the last inspection took place in October 2011, the structure is subject to annual inspection to ensure its continued effectiveness in mitigating flood risks for the surrounding area.
With a very high risk level and a fair condition assessment, SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-007 serves as a critical flood risk reduction infrastructure in the region. Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, this dam on Five Mile Creek underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to protect the surrounding community from potential flood events. As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, the proper management of this water resource becomes increasingly vital for the safety and well-being of the area's residents.

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.
