Summary
Built in 1969 by the USDA NRCS, this dam was designed for flood risk reduction on TR-EIGHTMILE CREEK. With a height of 34 feet and a length of 2230 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 395 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres.
The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is inspected regularly to ensure its structural integrity. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for this dam is rated as very high (1). The primary purpose of SCS-Wildhorse Creek Site-125 is flood risk reduction, and it features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and a valve outlet gate.
Although the dam's condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," its emergency action plan status is unknown. With the potential for high risk in the event of failure, it is essential for authorities to ensure that proper risk management measures are in place to protect nearby communities and the environment from any potential damage.

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.
