Summary
Built in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet with a hydraulic height of 22 feet and a structural height of 25 feet. The primary purpose of this dam is flood risk reduction, providing a maximum storage capacity of 201 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 88 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, this dam is essential for protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Owned by the state and regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-31 features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Despite not being recently inspected, the dam's condition is currently not rated, highlighting the need for further assessment and potentially updating the emergency action plan. With a history of state oversight and a focus on flood risk reduction, this dam plays a critical role in managing water resources and climate resilience in the Washita County area of Oklahoma.
With a relatively small surface area of 16 acres and a maximum discharge capacity of 2635 cubic feet per second, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-31 serves as a key infrastructure for flood control along TR-Boggy Creek. As climate change continues to impact weather patterns and increase the frequency of extreme weather events, the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like this one becomes increasingly crucial for the protection of communities and the sustainable management of water resources 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.
