Summary
Completed in 1966, this earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and spans a length of 1550 feet. With a storage capacity of 990 acre-feet, it serves multiple purposes including debris control, fire protection, and supporting wildlife habitats.
Despite its age, the dam is state-regulated and subject to regular inspections and enforcement by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). While the dam is currently rated as "Not Available" in terms of hazard potential and condition assessment, its risk assessment is categorized as "High." With no spillway and limited discharge capacity, the dam presents a potential risk that requires ongoing monitoring and management to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
Overall, Clear Creek WS SCS Site 2 Dam is a significant structure in the Tulsa District that requires attention and resources to address its high-risk profile. As a key element in flood risk reduction and wildlife conservation efforts, the dam plays a crucial role in the local ecosystem and water resource management. Collaborative efforts between local government, regulatory agencies, and stakeholders are essential to ensure the continued safety and functionality of this vital infrastructure.

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.
