Last Updated: April 1, 2026
Fitzgerald Dc, located in Carter County, Oklahoma, is a privately owned earth dam designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 1968.
Summary
The dam, situated on TR-Henry House Creek, serves a primary purpose of "Other" and stands at a height of 22 feet with a length of 600 feet. It has a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 50 acre-feet and a surface area of 12 acres.
Managed by the Oklahoma State regulatory agency OWRB, Fitzgerald Dc has a low hazard potential but is classified as having a very high risk level. Despite not being rated for its condition, the dam undergoes inspections every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in June 2003. It features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate consisting of a single valve.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Fitzgerald Dc presents an intriguing case study of a privately owned dam in Oklahoma with unique design and storage characteristics. Its location on TR-Henry House Creek, along with its regulatory oversight by OWRB and risk assessment profile, offer valuable insights into the management and maintenance of water infrastructure in the region.

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.
