Summary
The dam stands at a height of 42 feet with a hydraulic height of 39 feet and a structural height of 42 feet. It has a length of 930 feet and a storage capacity of 305 acre-feet, serving the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. The dam features a controlled spillway and one valve outlet gate.
Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-23 is considered to have a very high risk, as indicated by a risk assessment rating of 1. The dam has not been inspected since January 1980, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. The condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," and there is no information available on emergency action plan preparedness or risk management measures. The dam is not operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers and falls under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-23 presents an intriguing case study in dam infrastructure and risk management. With its unique design and historical significance, this earth dam serves as a vital component in the flood risk reduction efforts along Boggy Creek. The data provided offers a glimpse into the complexities of managing and maintaining such structures, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and emergency preparedness in ensuring the safety and resilience of water resource systems in the face of evolving climate challenges.

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.
