With a storage capacity of 1560 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 860 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the Washita County area.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Boggy Creek Site-13 indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a maximum discharge capacity of 7228 cubic feet per second. Although last inspected in 1980, the dam is still state-permitted and state-regulated, with the OWRB overseeing its operations, inspections, and enforcement. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this site presents a unique opportunity to study the intersection of infrastructure, water management, and climate resilience in the region.
