Built in 1971, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and has a hydraulic height of 33 feet, with a length of 580 feet. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 90 acre-feet, serving the Rush Creek watershed in the Tulsa District.
Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, the dam at SCS-Rush Creek Site-106 is considered to have a very high risk due to its age and lack of recent inspections. The last inspection took place in 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. The dam's spillway is of the controlled type with a width of 1 foot, and it is equipped with one valve outlet gate for water release. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, there is a need for updated assessments and emergency action plans to ensure the safety and functionality of this critical flood control structure in the Rush Creek area.
