Summary

Constructed in 1966, this dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate, this dam has a hazard potential rated as high and a condition assessment deemed fair.

Despite its fair condition, SCS-Roaring Creek Site-107 poses a very high risk due to its location and design. The dam has not been modified in recent years and was last inspected in 2011. It is crucial for the dam's emergency action plan to be updated and for risk management measures to be put in place to mitigate any potential hazards. With its important role in flood risk reduction for the area, ensuring the safety and integrity of SCS-Roaring Creek Site-107 is of utmost importance for the surrounding community and water resource enthusiasts.

As a part of the Tulsa District, SCS-Roaring Creek Site-107 is under the jurisdiction of OWRB and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam's design, construction, and operations are overseen by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. With its location in a high-risk area and the potential for significant impact in case of failure, continued monitoring and maintenance of SCS-Roaring Creek Site-107 are essential to safeguarding both the local environment and the community's water resources.

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.
