Summary

Completed in 1965, this dam stands at a height of 32 feet and has a hydraulic height of 28 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 246 acre-feet. The dam, situated on TR-Boggy Creek in Washita County, has a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate for efficient water management.

Despite being in fair condition, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-07 poses a significant hazard potential with a very high risk assessment rating of 1. With a significant storage capacity and a maximum discharge rate of 3630 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in flood risk mitigation for the surrounding area. The dam's inspection frequency is every 3 years, with the last inspection conducted in September 2011, ensuring its operational readiness in case of emergencies.

As climate change continues to impact water resources, the significance of structures like SCS-Boggy Creek Site-07 in managing flood risks cannot be overstated. With its strategic location and design features, this dam stands as a critical infrastructure asset in safeguarding the community from potential inundation events, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in the face of evolving environmental challenges.

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.
