The dam stands at 26 feet tall and spans 1600 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 355 acre-feet with a maximum discharge of 450 cubic feet per second. While the hazard potential is rated as low, the risk assessment indicates a very high risk level, requiring careful monitoring and management measures.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the dam has not been inspected since January 1980 and is currently rated as "Not Rated" for its condition assessment. Despite its age, the structure remains operational with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. The surrounding area covers 14 acres with a normal storage capacity of 19 acre-feet, serving as a crucial flood control measure in the region.
With the Fort Worth District overseeing its maintenance, SCS-Frogville Creek Site-1 represents a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure. As climate variability continues to impact the region, the dam's role in flood risk reduction and water management becomes increasingly significant, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and risk mitigation strategies to ensure its continued effectiveness in protecting the community and environment.
