Scs-Sandstone Creek Site-113 Reservoir Report
Last Updated: December 15, 2025
SCS-Sandstone Creek Site-113, located in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS in 1962 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-CURRENT CR stream.

Summary
This 38-foot tall structure with a hydraulic height of 35 feet serves to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events. With a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a controlled spillway, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment.
Despite its age, SCS-Sandstone Creek Site-113 remains an essential infrastructure for managing water resources in the region. Although it has not been inspected since 1980, the dam is equipped with a valve outlet gate and is subject to state inspection, permitting, and enforcement processes to ensure its continued functionality. The risk assessment for this site indicates a very high level of risk, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and potential risk management measures to safeguard the community against flood events. The presence of this structure highlights the collaborative efforts between federal and state agencies to protect the environment and local communities from the impacts of extreme weather and climate events.

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.
