Summary
Completed in 1965, this structure stands at a height of 36 feet with a hydraulic height of 33 feet and a length of 880 feet, providing a storage capacity of 109 acre-feet. With a spillway type of Controlled and a hazard potential rated as significant, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the Washita County area.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), SCS-Boggy Creek Site-15 undergoes regular inspections with a fair condition assessment, ensuring its structural integrity and operational effectiveness. The dam features one valve outlet gate and has a maximum discharge capacity of 1900 cubic feet per second. With a very high risk rating and a history of modifications, this site remains a key component in the region's water resource and climate management efforts.
As part of the Tulsa District, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-15 is crucial for protecting the surrounding community from potential flood events and ensuring water resource sustainability in the area. With a strategic location along the Boggy Creek, this earth dam continues to serve its primary purpose of flood risk reduction while upholding state regulatory standards and inspection requirements. Its presence highlights the importance of proactive water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions and increasing water-related 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.
