Summary
Constructed in 1979 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and has a length of 204 feet, creating a surface area of 4 acres. The dam serves multiple purposes including fish and wildlife pond, grade stabilization, and recreation, making it a valuable resource for the community.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, Eugene Sudduth provides a safe and enjoyable environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts. The dam's uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates ensure proper water management, while its location on Tr- White Oak Creek adds to the natural beauty of the area. Despite limited information on its condition assessment, Eugene Sudduth remains a well-maintained structure that contributes to the local ecosystem and provides recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Eugene Sudduth exemplifies the importance of sustainable water resource management and the integration of recreational facilities with environmental conservation. Its presence in the Tulsa District of Texas highlights the collaboration between government agencies and private owners in preserving and enhancing water resources for future generations. For those interested in water infrastructure and climate resilience, Eugene Sudduth serves as a noteworthy example of responsible dam construction and management in a changing climate.

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.
