Constructed in 1961 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 840 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 453 acre-feet and a controlled spillway, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water levels and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the dam is classified as having a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. Despite its age, the dam has not been assigned a condition assessment and has not been inspected since 1980. The emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures for the dam are also not available, indicating potential areas for improvement in terms of readiness and response in the event of a flood or other emergency.
Overall, the SCS-Bear-Fall & Coon Creek Site-014 serves as a vital infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the area, but it also highlights the importance of regular inspections, maintenance, and emergency preparedness to ensure the safety and resilience of the dam and surrounding community in the face of changing climate conditions and water resource challenges.
