SCS-Bear-Hybarger Site-6, located in Lindsay, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated earth dam constructed in 1963 by the USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction along TR-Bear Creek.
Standing at a height of 39 feet and stretching 850 feet in length, this dam has a storage capacity of 116 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 540 cubic feet per second. Despite being categorized as having low hazard potential, it is considered to have a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of proper risk management measures.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), this dam has a controlled spillway type and is equipped with a single valve outlet gate for water release. While the dam structure itself is in good condition, it has not been inspected since 1980, highlighting the need for updated assessments and maintenance. With a risk assessment rating of 1, it is crucial for emergency action plans to be prepared and regularly reviewed to mitigate potential risks and ensure the safety of surrounding communities in the event of a dam failure. Water resource and climate enthusiasts would find SCS-Bear-Hybarger Site-6 to be a noteworthy site for further study and monitoring in the realm of flood control and dam safety.
