Summary
Completed in 1961, this dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 763 acre-feet. With a spillway type of "Controlled" and a hazard potential rated as "Low", this dam plays a crucial role in managing flood risk in the area.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, SCS-Bear-Fall & Coon Creek Site-018 is inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. Despite being deemed as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment, the risk assessment for this dam is classified as "Very High (1)", indicating the importance of implementing proper risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards. Although the last inspection date recorded was in 1980, continuous monitoring and maintenance are essential to uphold the safety and effectiveness of this vital water resource infrastructure.
As part of the flood risk reduction infrastructure in the region, SCS-Bear-Fall & Coon Creek Site-018 serves as a critical component in protecting the surrounding communities from the impacts of flooding. With an emphasis on safety and risk management, ongoing efforts to ensure the proper functioning and maintenance of this dam are essential to safeguarding the local environment and residents from potential water-related hazards.

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.
