Summary

The earthen dam stands at a height of 28 feet and spans a length of 1450 feet, providing a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. The surface area of the pond covers 10 acres, offering visitors a serene environment for activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking.

Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Mill Creek Pond has a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, with the last inspection conducted in December 2010. The pond's primary purpose is for recreation, attracting outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy its scenic surroundings and water-based activities. Despite being privately owned, the dam structure is regulated and inspected by the state, ensuring its safety and compliance with the necessary standards.

With its proximity to the TR-ARKANSAS RIV, Mill Creek Pond serves as a valuable water resource for the local community, offering a peaceful retreat for residents and visitors alike. The pond's risk assessment is rated as very high, highlighting the importance of ongoing management and maintenance to preserve its recreational and environmental value for future generations.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
