Completed in 1978, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and has a length of 1000 feet, providing a normal storage capacity of 63 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 555 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate, the dam is classified as having a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment.
Despite its age, the SCS-Okfuskee Tributaries Site-N10 has not been rated for its condition assessment, with the last inspection conducted in 1980. While it meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements, the dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status is unclear, and it does not have inundation maps prepared or updated emergency contacts. As climate change continues to impact water resources and create more intense rainfall events, the risk management measures for this dam may need to be reevaluated to ensure its effectiveness in protecting the surrounding area from flooding.
