This earth dam stands at a height of 48 feet with a hydraulic height of 45 feet, providing a storage capacity of 235 acre-feet and a surface area of 8 acres. With a controlled spillway and valve outlet gates, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently not rated for its condition assessment.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, this dam is inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. Despite being in operation for almost 50 years, the SCS-Cowden Laterals Site-007 has a very high risk assessment rating of 1, indicating the need for continued monitoring and risk management measures. With Congressman Frank D. Lucas representing the district, this dam serves as a crucial infrastructure for flood control in the region and highlights the importance of water resource management in mitigating climate-related risks.
