Summary
This dam was designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1997 with a primary purpose of serving as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. It has a height of 32 feet and a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for the surrounding area.
Managed by the OWRB and regulated by the state of Oklahoma, SCS-David Dickey plays a crucial role in water conservation and wildlife preservation in Custer County. With a low hazard potential but a very high risk assessment rating, it is important for the dam to undergo regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate to manage water levels and discharge.
Despite not having a condition assessment rating, SCS-David Dickey remains a key feature in the area's water resource infrastructure. With its strategic location and design, this dam serves as a vital resource for the community, supporting both environmental conservation efforts and recreational activities. Its significance in maintaining a balance between water supply and wildlife habitat makes it an essential asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate and monitor.

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.
