Summary
The dam stands at a height of 27 feet with a hydraulic height of 24 feet and a length of 1327 feet, providing a storage capacity of 342 acre-feet. Completed in 1965, this structure plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region, with a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential.
The dam, owned by the state of Oklahoma and regulated by the OWRB, features a stone core and a soil foundation, with a valve outlet gate for water release. While its condition assessment is currently not rated, the risk assessment for SCS-Boggy Creek Site-26 indicates a very high risk level. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and effectiveness in managing floodwaters. This site serves as a vital resource for water management and climate resilience efforts in Washita County, Oklahoma.
With a maximum discharge capacity of 1605 cubic feet per second and a normal storage capacity of 129 acre-feet, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-26 is an essential component of the flood control infrastructure in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the design, purpose, and risk assessment of this dam is crucial for ensuring the safety and resilience of communities along Boggy Creek. The site's history, construction details, and regulatory oversight provide valuable insights into the management of water resources and the mitigation of flood risks 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.
