Scs-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-26 dam
Scs-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-26
The SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-26 in Atoka, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated earth dam designed by USDA NRCS in 1985 for flood risk reduction along the TR-DRY BOGGY CREEK. With a dam height of 33 feet and a length of 1100 feet, this structure has a maximum storage capacity of 554 acre-feet and serves a drainage area of 2.28 square miles. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release.
Despite its low hazard potential, the SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-26 has been rated as having a very high risk of failure, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," with the last inspection date recorded as January 1, 1980. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status, risk management measures, and inundation maps are all listed as unknown, indicating potential areas for improvement in emergency preparedness.
Given the critical role this dam plays in flood risk reduction in the area, it is essential for the relevant state agencies, such as OWRB, to ensure regular inspections and enforcement measures are in place to mitigate the identified high risk. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may find interest in the unique design and operational aspects of the SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-26, as well as the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to safeguard surrounding communities from potential flooding events.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Scs-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-26
Where does the data for Scs-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-26 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
