Summary
The dam stands at a height of 33 feet with a hydraulic height of 30 feet and a length of 1640 feet. It has a storage capacity of 774 acre-feet and a surface area of 37 acres, serving as a crucial structure for managing water resources in the Washita County area.
Although last inspected in 1980, the dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. Despite its age, the dam is still functioning as intended, with one valve for outlet gates. The risk assessment for SCS-Boggy Creek Site-28 indicates a very high risk level of 1, underscoring the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the structure in addressing flood risks and protecting the surrounding community and environment.
With the dam falling under state jurisdiction and regulatory oversight by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), SCS-Boggy Creek Site-28 serves as a testament to collaborative efforts between federal and state agencies in managing water resources and mitigating the impacts of extreme weather events on local communities. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the intricate design and critical role of this earth dam in safeguarding the region against flooding and promoting sustainable water management practices in Oklahoma.

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.
