Summary
This dam, with a height of 25 feet and a length of 550 feet, has a storage capacity of 108 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 0.43 square miles. It is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release and management.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Dry Creek Site-24 indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The condition assessment for the dam is currently listed as not rated, suggesting a need for further evaluation to ensure its structural integrity and safety. With the presence of the OWRB as the state regulatory agency overseeing permitting, inspection, and enforcement, measures are in place to address any potential risks and ensure the continued functionality of the dam for flood control and water resource management in the area.
In the event of an emergency, it is crucial for the dam to have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, although details regarding its preparation and adherence to guidelines are currently unavailable. The dam's risk management measures and inundation maps are also not specified, indicating a need for a more comprehensive approach to emergency preparedness. Overall, SCS-Dry Creek Site-24 plays a significant role in mitigating flood risks along Dry Creek and highlights the importance of proactive maintenance and risk assessment in water resource and climate management.

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.
