This 28-foot high dam with a spillway width of 1 foot has a storage capacity of 4630 acre-feet, serving the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. Located in OLNEY, the dam is under the jurisdiction of the OWRB and has a low hazard potential, with a very high risk assessment rating.
Despite being constructed over 50 years ago, the condition of SCS-Leader-Mid Clr Boggy Cr Site-17 has not been assessed since 1980, and it currently holds a "Not Rated" condition assessment. With one valve outlet gate and a controlled spillway, the dam has a maximum discharge capacity of 810 cubic feet per second. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP), its risk management measures and guidelines for potential inundation events remain unspecified. As a vital structure for flood risk management in Tulsa District, this dam warrants further inspection and assessment to ensure its continued safety and functionality for the surrounding community and ecosystem.
