SCS-Bear-Fall & Coon Creek Site-027, located in Logan, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated earth dam designed by USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction.
Completed in 1960, this dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a storage capacity of 270 acre-feet. The dam spans 910 feet along the OPOSSUM CR river, with a controlled spillway width of 1 foot and a maximum discharge capacity of 870 cubic feet per second.
Despite being rated as low hazard potential and not yet assessed for condition, this dam poses a very high risk according to the data. Although the last inspection was conducted in 1980, the dam remains in operation with regular inspections scheduled every 5 years. With a single valve outlet gate and a stone core foundation, the dam serves as a critical infrastructure for managing floodwaters and protecting downstream areas in the region.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the SCS-Bear-Fall & Coon Creek Site-027 offers a fascinating case study in dam engineering and risk management. With its strategic location, design features, and operational history, this dam presents a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of water resource management, infrastructure resilience, and environmental stewardship in the face of changing climate conditions.
