Abstract
Sedimentation Survey of Lake Carl Blackwell, Payne and Noble Counties, Oklahoma
ABSTRACT
This report gives the results of a sedimentation survey of Lake Carl Blackwell made during June to mid-October, 1958. The survey was made chiefly to determine the amount and rate of sedimentation and the distribution of sediment in the lake.
The lake consists of a main body approximately 5 by 3/5 miles and 6 smaller arms. A rolled earth fill dam and concrete spillway are located at the east end. Sediment deposits consist of silt and clay with some sand. The thickest deposits are found at the western end and in the heads of the larger arms. The original capacity has been reduced 6.46 percent in 20
years. At the present rate of sedimentation the expected ultimate life is approximately 300 years, but the remaining useful life is probably closer to 180 years. Shoreline erosion has been most active in the soft clay shales.
