Summary
Completed in 1979, this dam stands at a height of 36 feet with a hydraulic height of 32 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 1398 acre-feet and a normal storage of 245 acre-feet. With a surface area of 48 acres and a maximum discharge of 5220 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region.
The dam's spillway type is controlled, with a spillway width of 2 feet and one valve outlet gate. Despite being assessed as in fair condition, it is classified as a high hazard potential structure with a very high risk rating. The dam's inspection frequency is once per year, with the last inspection conducted in August 2011. While it meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements, there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, raising concerns about emergency preparedness and the need for risk management measures.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, SCS-Delaware Creek Site-008 serves as a vital infrastructure for flood control in Caddo County, Oklahoma. With its stone core and soil foundation, this dam stands as a testament to effective water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the critical role of structures like SCS-Delaware Creek Site-008 is essential in ensuring the safety and sustainability of our communities in the face of increasing environmental challenges.

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.
