Summary
Completed in 1995, this stone core dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 231 acre-feet. With a drainage area of 256 square miles, this controlled spillway structure plays a crucial role in managing water flow in the area, reducing the risk of flooding and protecting surrounding communities.
Despite its low hazard potential, SCS-Dry Creek Site-13 is classified as having a very high risk level, indicating the importance of effective risk management measures. Currently not rated for condition assessment, this structure undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its integrity and functionality. While emergency action plans and inundation maps are not currently prepared, the dam is equipped with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement protocols to address any potential issues and ensure public safety.
As part of the Tulsa District, this dam contributes to the overall water resource management efforts in the region. With its strategic location and design for flood risk reduction, SCS-Dry Creek Site-13 serves as a critical infrastructure asset for the state of Oklahoma, providing essential protection against potential water-related disasters.

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.
