Summary
Built in 1981 by USDA NRCS, this dam stands at 32 feet tall and spans 900 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 719 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-SALT CR and falls under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) for permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating of 1, SCS-Salt-Camp Creek Site-06 is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Despite being in operation for several decades, the dam's condition assessment remains unrated, and it has not been inspected since January 1980. While emergency action plans (EAP) and inundation maps are not yet prepared, the dam's risk management measures and DSAC assignment date are also unspecified.
This site serves as a significant component of flood risk reduction efforts in the area, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance, inspection, and emergency preparedness to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the SCS-Salt-Camp Creek Site-06 dam for both water resource management and climate resilience.

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.
