Summary
Completed in 1973, this earth dam stands at a height of 37 feet with a length of 1200 feet, providing a storage capacity of 974 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and valve outlet gates, this dam has a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the SCS-Okfuskee Tributaries Site-H01 is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safety and effectiveness in managing flood risks in the area. Despite not being rated in terms of condition assessment, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding community from potential inundation and preserving the natural resources in the region. As a key infrastructure designed to mitigate flood risks, this dam serves as a vital asset in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the state.
With its strategic location and significant storage capacity, the SCS-Okfuskee Tributaries Site-H01 stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between state agencies and federal designers in safeguarding communities and ecosystems from the impacts of extreme weather events. As climate change continues to pose challenges to water resources management, the importance of well-designed dams like this one in Okfuskee County cannot be overstated. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding and supporting the maintenance and enhancement of such critical infrastructure is essential for building a more resilient and sustainable future.

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.
