Summary
Designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1990, this earth dam stands at a height of 62.5 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 41,300 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of water supply, the dam serves as a crucial resource for the surrounding area.
The dam's high hazard potential and fair condition assessment highlight the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. The surrounding Bellcow River and a drainage area of 32.6 square miles contribute to the dam's water supply capabilities, while its proximity to the city of Chandler ensures accessibility for residents and businesses.
Despite its age, SCS-Kickapoo Nations Site-01m remains a vital component of the water infrastructure in Lincoln County. With a very high risk assessment score and state-regulated status, continued monitoring and risk management measures are essential to ensure the dam's continued safety and functionality. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this site represents a critical piece of Oklahoma's water supply infrastructure that plays a key role in supporting the region's water needs.

Dam Data Reference
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.
