Managed by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at 26 feet high and has a storage capacity of 34 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Collier has not been rated for its condition and lacks emergency action preparedness measures.
Situated within the Tulsa District, Collier serves as a crucial water resource in the region, particularly for agricultural purposes. With no state regulation or permitting in place, this dam plays a vital role in water management and conservation efforts. While the dam has not undergone recent inspections or condition assessments, its construction and design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service underscores the importance of sustainable infrastructure for water security.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, enthusiasts and stakeholders should monitor Collier and similar structures for potential risks and vulnerabilities. With its uncontrolled spillway and lack of emergency preparedness, there is a need for proactive measures to ensure the safety and sustainability of this essential water infrastructure. Collaborative efforts between private owners, regulatory agencies, and the community will be crucial in enhancing the resilience of Collier and safeguarding water resources for future generations.
