About Scs-sugar Creek Site-025

The primary purpose of Scs-sugar Creek Site-025 is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by South Caddo Cons Dist (state). It impounds the Kohnoosky Creek near Gracemont.

The dam stands 31 feet tall and stretches 1,050 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 31 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 621 acre-feet. Completed in 1967, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.

This dam has a significant hazard potential classification, meaning that a failure could cause significant economic damage — flooding roads, bridges, or property downstream — but is not expected to result in loss of life. Its condition is rated fair — the dam has minor deficiencies that are being addressed or do not pose an immediate safety threat. The most recent inspection on record was 10/21/2011. That was over 14 years ago.
