About Scs-frogville Creek Site-2

The primary purpose of Scs-frogville Creek Site-2 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 Kiamichi Cons Dist (state). It impounds the Tr-kiamichi River near Huskey.

The dam stands 32 feet tall and stretches 1,210 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 10 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 500 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 1969, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.

This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life. The most recent inspection on record was 01/01/1980. That was over 46 years ago.
