Land & Cattle Co. is a privately owned dam located in Osage, Oklahoma, along the TR-SAND CREEK. Built in 1940, this earth dam stands at 30 feet high with a hydraulic height of 27 feet and a length of 300 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 135 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 225 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 8 acres and has a maximum discharge rate of 550 cubic feet per second. Despite its low hazard potential, it is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes regular inspections and enforcement to ensure public safety.
The dam features a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate, with no associated locks. Although its condition assessment is not rated, Okla. Land & Cattle Co. is considered to have a very high risk profile, with a DSAC-assigned risk level of 1. The dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) or inundation maps. With Congressman Frank D. Lucas representing the area, the dam's management measures and risk assessment are under scrutiny to mitigate potential risks and ensure the safety of the surrounding community and ecosystem. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find interest in monitoring the ongoing safety measures and regulatory oversight of this historic dam.
