Summary
Completed in 1972, this dam stands at a height of 40 feet and has a normal storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, with a maximum storage of 299 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and one outlet valve, this dam has a low hazard potential and is classified as "Very High (1)" in terms of risk assessment.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), SCS-Fort Cobb Laterals Site-013 plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region, serving as a key infrastructure for water resource management. The dam's structural integrity is maintained through regular state inspections and enforcement measures, ensuring its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction. Although the condition assessment is currently "Not Rated," the dam's risk management measures are in place to address any potential issues that may arise.
With its strategic location and design, SCS-Fort Cobb Laterals Site-013 exemplifies the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of climate change. As a vital component of the region's infrastructure, this dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between state and federal agencies to safeguard communities from the impacts of flooding. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this site serves as a symbol of resilience and adaptability in the face of environmental challenges.

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.
