Summary
Completed in 1960, this dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a length of 900 feet, providing a storage capacity of 449 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 2688 cubic feet per second. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water control.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Bear-Fall & Coon Creek Site-010 indicates a very high risk level, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and monitoring. The dam has not been rated for condition assessment since its last inspection in 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. While emergency action plans and inundation maps have not been prepared, it is crucial for stakeholders to ensure that risk management measures are in place to address any potential safety concerns.
Managed by the Oklahoma State regulatory agency, OWRB, this dam plays a critical role in protecting the surrounding areas from flood risks. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is essential to stay informed about the condition of dams like SCS-Bear-Fall & Coon Creek Site-010 to ensure the safety and sustainability of our water infrastructure in the face of changing environmental conditions.

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.
