Summary
Standing at a height of 46 feet with a length of 1,288 feet, the dam has a maximum storage capacity of 8,855 acre-feet and serves as a critical structure for mitigating potential flooding in the region. The dam is regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoes regular inspections, ensuring its structural integrity and functionality.
With a drainage area of 13.61 square miles, the West Fork Above Bridgeport WS SCS Site 1 Dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting downstream areas from excessive flooding. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 100 feet and is equipped with four uncontrolled outlet gates. Despite its moderate hazard potential, the dam's risk assessment rating of 3 underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to uphold its flood risk reduction capabilities.
As a key piece of infrastructure in the Tulsa District, the West Fork Above Bridgeport WS SCS Site 1 Dam exemplifies the collaborative efforts between local government agencies and the USDA NRCS to safeguard communities and natural resources from the impacts of extreme weather events. Its strategic placement and design highlight the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience, showcasing the importance of proactive measures in addressing the challenges posed by changing environmental conditions.

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.
