Watershed Dams In Noble County Oklahoma has 129 USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) as sisted watershed projects in 64 counties. Over 2,100 watershed dams have been built in the state with financial and technical assistance from NRCS authorized through Public Law 78-534, Flood Control Act of 1944 (Washita RiverWatershed) and Public Law 83-566Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Program. Watershed projects address a myriad of natural resource issues such as flooding, soil erosion, water quality, animal waste management, irrigation water management, water supply, wetland development or enhancement, fish and wildlife habitat and recreation. Many of these watershed projects also include conservation practices such as terraces, waterways, ponds, gully control, and pasture and rangeland plantings. Operation and Maintenance of Watershed Projects The annualoperation andmaintenance ofdams and their components is amajor responsibility for project sponsors (local units of governments, usually conservation districts, conservancy districts, or city or county governments). Operation andmaintenance of watershed dams can be expensive and labor intensive, but is necessary to ensure the dams function as designed and remain safe.Maintenance work includes clearing trees from dams and spillway, repairing soil erosion damage, repairing damage to the spillway and dams after heavy rainstorms, and keeping the inlet towers cleared of debris. Operation and Maintenance Needs $11.7 million is needed to meet operation and maintenance needs on all watershed dams in the state for fiscal years 2009-2012. Rehabilitation ofAging Dams Oklahoma has 321watershed dams that will exceed their 50-year design life in 2009 and that number increases to 806 by 2013 and 1,435 by 2019. Noble County has three dams that will exceed their 50-year design life in 2010 and that number increases to 13 dams by 2013. Some damswill need rehabilitation toremain safe and protect the people that live or work downstream. It is estimated that $30 million will be needed to rehabilitate the highest priority of these dams during the next five years. Oklahoma currently has several rehabilitation projects in various stages of planning, design, or construction. NRCS assistance is available to rehabilitate aging watershed dams with 65 percent federal cost-share. Local project sponsors provide 35 percent of the rehabilitation costs.
