Summary
Built in 1960, this earthen dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a primary purpose of serving as a water resource for the surrounding area. With a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 2210 cubic feet per second, Wickham C No 2 plays a crucial role in managing water flow in the TR-Wildhorse Creek.
Despite its low hazard potential, Wickham C No 2 is classified as having a very high risk due to its age and condition assessment being listed as "Not Rated." The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections, with the last one being conducted in November 2010. While the dam has a controlled spillway and one outlet gate, there are no associated structures or locks present.
Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Wickham C No 2 to be an interesting case study in dam management and risk assessment. With its location in a high-risk area and the potential for significant impact on the surrounding environment in the event of failure, Wickham C No 2 serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring critical infrastructure to ensure the safety and security of communities downstream.

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.
