Summary
Constructed in 1961 by USDA NRCS, this earth dam boasts a height of 15 feet and a length of 1400 feet, providing a storage capacity of 125 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam remains in good condition with a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-16 dam is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood control. The dam features a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and a stone core foundation, all contributing to its structural integrity. With a surface area of 5 acres and a maximum discharge capacity of 430 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding community from potential flooding events.
As a state-regulated structure, the SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-16 dam serves as a testament to the commitment to water resource management in Oklahoma. With its strategic location, historical significance, and essential role in flood risk reduction, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of maintaining and investing in infrastructure for climate resilience and water security in the region.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
