Summary

With a dam height of 42 feet and a hydraulic height of 39 feet, this structure serves as a vital component in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. The dam has a normal storage capacity of 127 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 346 acre-feet, providing essential flood control measures for the region.

This low hazard potential dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. Despite its age, the condition of SCS-Boggy Creek Site-19 has not been rated, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance. The risk assessment for this dam indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of implementing effective risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will find this site to be a fascinating example of engineering ingenuity and the critical role that dams play in mitigating flood risks in vulnerable areas.

As one of the many structures designed and managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-19 stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to protect communities and infrastructure from the impacts of extreme weather events. With its strategic location and purposeful design, this dam serves as a key element in the overall flood risk reduction strategy for Washita County, Oklahoma. As climate change continues to impact weather patterns and water resources, the importance of maintaining and upgrading such critical infrastructure will only grow, making sites like SCS-Boggy Creek Site-19 essential components of resilient and sustainable water management systems.

Dam Data Reference

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
