Scs-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-32c dam
Scs-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-32c
Located in Atoka, Oklahoma, the SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-32c is a state-regulated dam designed by the USDA NRCS for flood risk reduction along the FRONTERHOUSE CR. Completed in 1985, this earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a length of 760 feet, providing a storage capacity of 315 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, this dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.
The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with the state of Oklahoma overseeing its inspection, permitting, and enforcement. Although the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's risk management measures are not specified. Despite its relatively low hazard potential, the SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-32c serves as a crucial infrastructure for managing water resources and mitigating flood risks in the area.
Overall, the SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-32c represents a significant investment in water resource management in Atoka, Oklahoma. As part of the state's jurisdiction and regulatory oversight, this dam plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding community from potential flooding events. With its strategic location and design features, this dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water infrastructure in the face of changing climate patterns.
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-32c
Where does the data for Scs-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-32c 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.
