Built in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 450 acre-feet. With a normal storage of 155 acre-feet and a surface area of 23 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the area.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-04 features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Despite being assessed as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk due to its age and the lack of recent condition assessments. With a history of only one inspection in 1980, this site may benefit from more frequent monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction for the community.
While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently unknown, its location in Washita County under the jurisdiction of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers highlights its importance in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region. Enthusiasts interested in sustainable water infrastructure and climate adaptation may find SCS-Boggy Creek Site-04 to be a fascinating case study in the intersection of engineering, regulation, and environmental stewardship.
