Summary
Completed in 1963, this dam stands at a height of 21 feet and spans a length of 780 feet. It has a maximum storage capacity of 306 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 31 acre-feet, serving as a crucial infrastructure for managing water resources in the area.
With a controlled spillway and a hazard potential rated as low, this dam plays a vital role in mitigating the risk of inundation and managing the high discharge of up to 1040 cubic feet per second. Despite not being rated for its condition assessment, the dam is inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. The risk assessment for this site indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of proper management and maintenance practices to uphold the safety and effectiveness of this key water resource infrastructure in the region.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, SCS-Bear-Fall & Coon Creek Site-022 not only serves as a flood risk reduction measure but also contributes to the overall water management efforts in the area. With a history dating back to the early 1960s, this dam continues to play a crucial role in safeguarding the community against potential water-related hazards and ensuring the sustainable use of water resources amidst changing climate 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.
