  • SWT-2022-565

    Expiration date: 4/28/2024

    Project Description: The application is for the rehabilitation of the Upper Black Bear Creek No. 62 (Lake Perry) reservoir to address flood safety criteria and performance standards for high hazard potential class (c) dams as defined by the NRCS and state of Oklahoma. The dam was recently elevated from significant hazard class (b) to high hazard class (c) due to increased development and roadways downstream which would be inundated by a catastrophic dam failure event. The proposal includes the rehabilitation of the principal and auxiliary spillway structures, maintenance to the existing riprap covering the earthen dam, as well as other elements which do not require a Section 404 Permit. As a result of this work, the current normal operational elevation (conservation pool) of the lake would be raised by approximately 2.1 feet to accommodate additional water supply storage for the City of Perry.
