Groundbreaking held for Crowder Lake project

April 6th, 2010

 A groundbreaking ceremony was held recently for the Cobb Creek Site 1 (Crowder Lake) rehabilitation project. The flood control structure has exceeded its lifespan and is now considered a high hazard structure. Following rehabilitation, the dam will be designed to continue to protect land and resident for another 100 years.

Deer Creek Conservation District and Southwestern Oklahoma State University are co-sponsors of the project, which is expected to begin in February 2011.

On hand for the ground breaking were DCCD directors and staff, SWOSU and Crowder Lake representatives, and officials from NRCS, OCC and OACD.
