Scs-Cotton-Coon-Mission Cr Site-001 dam
Scs-Cotton-Coon-Mission Cr Site-001
SCS-Cotton-Coon-Mission Cr Site-001 is a state-regulated earth dam located in Osage, Oklahoma, designed by the USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction on TR-Mission Creek. Completed in 1978, this dam stands at a height of 48 feet and has a storage capacity of 960 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway type and a low hazard potential, this dam serves as a critical infrastructure in the Tulsa District for managing flood risks in the area.
Managed by the OWRB and inspected periodically since its completion, the SCS-Cotton-Coon-Mission Cr Site-001 dam boasts a very high risk assessment rating, indicating its importance in mitigating potential disasters in the region. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, this dam's strategic location and design make it a key component in the overall risk management strategy for the area. With a single valve outlet gate and a surface area of 19 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding communities from flooding events.
Overall, SCS-Cotton-Coon-Mission Cr Site-001 is a well-maintained and essential piece of infrastructure in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, with a strong focus on flood risk reduction. As a state-regulated earth dam with a solid track record of inspections and risk management measures, this dam exemplifies the importance of water resource management and climate resilience efforts in safeguarding communities and ecosystems against the impacts of extreme weather events.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Scs-Cotton-Coon-Mission Cr Site-001
Where does the data for Scs-Cotton-Coon-Mission Cr Site-001 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
