About Leslie Coker
The primary purpose of Leslie Coker is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Coker (private). It impounds the Tr-medicine near Harris.
The dam stands 30 feet tall and stretches 421 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 7 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 35 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 288 square miles. Completed in 1998, the structure is 28 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
