Summary
Completed in 1976, this Earth dam stands at 43 feet tall and spans 1000 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 786 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is inspected periodically to ensure its structural integrity and functionality.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the SCS-Okfuskee Tributaries Site-W01 is considered to have a very high risk level due to its location and the potential consequences of failure. With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, the dam serves primarily for flood risk reduction purposes in the region. Although its condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam is under state jurisdiction and subject to regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
Overall, the SCS-Okfuskee Tributaries Site-W01 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks along TR-Walnut Creek in Okfuskee County, Oklahoma. Managed by state authorities and designed by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands as a key infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience in the region. Its strategic location and design features contribute to its vital role in safeguarding communities and natural habitats from potential flooding events.

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.
