Scs-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-16 dam
Scs-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-16
Located in Coal County, Oklahoma, the SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-16 dam stands as a vital asset for flood risk reduction along the TR-GOOSE CREEK. 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.

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-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-16
Where does the data for Scs-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-16 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.
