Completed in 1972, this dam stands at 37 feet high and has a storage capacity of 1190 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 234 acre-feet. The dam has a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release.
Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, this dam has a very high risk assessment due to its age and lack of recent inspections. The condition of the dam is currently not rated, and it is unclear if an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) has been prepared or updated recently. The risk management measures and inundation maps for the area have not been documented, highlighting the need for further assessment and planning to ensure the safety and integrity of this critical water resource infrastructure.
Given its location in a high-risk area and the potential consequences of failure, it is imperative that the state regulatory agency, OWRB, conducts regular inspections and maintenance of SCS-Fort Cobb Laterals Site-012. Climate enthusiasts and water resource experts should closely monitor the condition and management of this dam to prevent any potential disasters and ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.
