Summary
The dam stands at a height of 24 feet with a hydraulic height of 21 feet and a structural height of 24 feet, serving to store a maximum of 160 acre-feet of water in its reservoir. With a controlled spillway and a capacity to discharge up to 1100 cubic feet per second, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and mitigating flood risks in the region.
Despite being classified with a low hazard potential, the SCS-Boggy Creek Site-03 is deemed to have a very high risk level, reflecting the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance. With only one valve for outlet gates and an inspection frequency of every 5 years, this dam warrants careful attention to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood control. While the condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Rated," it is imperative that the dam's safety and functionality be regularly assessed to protect the surrounding Washita County community from potential water-related hazards.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is crucial to recognize the significance of structures like SCS-Boggy Creek Site-03 in managing water resources and reducing flood risks in vulnerable areas. By understanding the design and operational details of such dams, enthusiasts can actively support initiatives that promote sustainable water management practices and climate resilience. The data provided for this site serves as a valuable resource for further research and advocacy efforts in safeguarding our water infrastructure for future generations.

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.
