Summary
Built in 1972 by NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The dam, located on TR-Spring Creek, serves to protect the surrounding area from flooding, with a controlled spillway and a hazard potential rated as low.
Despite being constructed almost five decades ago, SCS-Spring Creek Site-102 has not been rated for its condition assessment and has not undergone any modifications since its completion. The dam is equipped with one valve outlet gate and is inspected every 5 years by the state regulatory agency, OWRB. Even though the risk assessment for this dam is categorized as very high, with a DSAC assigned date of none, the risk management measures and inundation maps have not been prepared or updated, leaving room for potential improvements in emergency preparedness and response.
Located in Caddo County, Oklahoma, SCS-Spring Creek Site-102 plays a crucial role in protecting the local community from flooding events. With its low hazard potential, state regulation, and history of flood risk reduction, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resource management and climate resilience 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.
