Completed in 1996, this dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a length of 572 feet, providing a storage capacity of 33 acre-feet and serving a drainage area of 650 acres. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is inspected regularly to ensure its structural integrity.
Although the dam is classified with a low hazard potential, it is deemed to have a very high risk due to its location and potential impact in the event of a failure. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.

With a history of effective flood risk reduction, SCS-Dean Clay #1 remains a critical piece of infrastructure in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events along Willow Creek.
