The dam was completed in 1967 by the USDA NRCS and serves as a crucial flood risk reduction structure along TR-Boggy Creek. Standing at a height of 19 feet with a hydraulic height of 16 feet, this dam has a storage capacity of 183 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 617 cubic feet per second.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), SCS-Boggy Creek Site-24 is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for efficient water management. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk due to its age and the lack of recent condition assessments. The surrounding area has a normal storage capacity of 75 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 19 acres.
With its critical role in flood risk reduction, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-24 is a key infrastructure in the Tulsa District that requires regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness. As climate change continues to impact water resources, this dam serves as a vital asset in protecting the local community from potential flooding events along TR-Boggy Creek.
