Summary
The dam stands at a height of 42 feet and has a length of 2200 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 1372 acre-feet and a normal storage of 87 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, the dam is essential for managing water flow and reducing the risk of flooding in the surrounding area.
Despite its age, SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-30 has not been rated for its current condition, with its last inspection dating back to 1980. However, the dam's risk assessment is categorized as very high (1), emphasizing the need for regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued effectiveness in mitigating flood risks. With one valve outlet gate and no associated structures or locks, the dam operates under the oversight of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement to uphold safety and regulatory standards.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-30 serves as a crucial infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the Oklahoma region. Its historical significance, design by the USDA NRCS, and state-regulated status highlight the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams to safeguard communities and natural resources from potential water-related hazards. As climate change continues to impact precipitation patterns and water availability, the role of structures like SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-30 becomes increasingly vital in managing and adapting to evolving hydrological conditions.

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.
