Summary
With a structural height of 26 feet and a length of 1125 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 440 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 1.1 square miles. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release.
Although the dam is rated as low hazard potential and has not been condition assessed, it is regularly inspected every 5 years to ensure its safety and functionality. The risk assessment for SCS-Robinson Creek Site-2 indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of proper risk management measures. Despite the lack of Emergency Action Plan (EAP) preparedness and updated contact information, this dam remains a critical infrastructure for flood control in the area, overseen by the OWRB regulatory agency.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find SCS-Robinson Creek Site-2 to be a fascinating example of earth dam engineering for flood risk reduction in Oklahoma. The dam's design parameters, storage capacity, and operational features offer valuable insights into water management strategies in the region. As discussions around climate change and extreme weather events continue to shape water resource planning, understanding the role of structures like SCS-Robinson Creek Site-2 becomes increasingly important for ensuring community safety and resilience against flooding.

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.
