Completed in 1961, this Earth dam stands at a structural height of 42 feet and spans 1050 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 967 acre-feet. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating.
Despite its age, SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-14 has not been inspected since 1980 and is currently not rated for condition assessment. However, the dam remains under state jurisdiction with permitting, inspection, and enforcement conducted by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. With a risk management plan yet to be documented, the dam presents a critical area for potential improvement and monitoring to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood control and water resource management. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this site serves as a focal point for understanding the intersection of infrastructure, regulation, and environmental risk in the management of water resources.
