Summary
Constructed in 1963 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 47 feet and has a length of 2700 feet, providing a storage capacity of 1146 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-North Fork Jack Fork Creek, within the Tulsa District of Oklahoma.
With a hazard potential classified as high and a condition assessment rated as fair, SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-33 is regularly inspected by the state regulatory agency, OWRB, to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. The dam features a controlled spillway and a slide (sluice gate) outlet, with a maximum discharge capacity of 2250 cubic feet per second. Despite its age, the dam remains a crucial component in managing flood risks and protecting the surrounding area from potential inundation events.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will be intrigued by the historical significance and engineering aspects of SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-33. As a vital infrastructure for flood control in the region, this earth dam serves as a testament to the ongoing efforts to mitigate water-related hazards and safeguard communities against the impacts of extreme weather events. Its location, design characteristics, and operational features make it a noteworthy site for those interested in the intersection of water management, climate resilience, and infrastructure development.

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.
