SCS-Bear-Fall & Coon Creek Site-012 is a state-regulated dam located in Meridian, Oklahoma, specifically in Logan County.
The dam was designed by the USDA NRCS and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along Blue Creek. Built in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and stretches 1170 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 656 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 2710 cubic feet per second.
Despite its age, SCS-Bear-Fall & Coon Creek Site-012 boasts a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its current condition. It features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. The dam's risk assessment indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness in flood control. While the last inspection date listed is in 1980, the dam is slated for inspections every 5 years to uphold its regulatory compliance and reduce potential risks to the surrounding community.
