Summary
This dam, regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, stands at a height of 50 feet with a hydraulic height of 37 feet and a structural height of 40 feet. It serves as an essential component in controlling the flow of the tributary to Rock Creek, with a storage capacity of 92 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 222 cubic feet per second.
With a moderate risk assessment rating and low hazard potential, the Wallace Dam is a crucial element in the water management infrastructure of the region. Although not currently rated for its condition, the dam undergoes regular inspections every 5 years to ensure its integrity and safety. The presence of an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 25 feet adds to the overall functionality and efficiency of the dam, providing essential flood control measures and recreational opportunities for the local community. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find the Wallace Dam to be a fascinating structure that plays a vital role in both environmental conservation and recreational activities in the area.

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.
