Summary
Constructed in 1965 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 37 feet and spans 1130 feet along the North Jack Fork Creek. With a maximum storage capacity of 1436 acre-feet and a drainage area of 5.45 square miles, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and preventing flooding in the region.
The dam's spillway type is controlled, with a width of 1 foot, and it is equipped with a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate. Despite being assessed as in fair condition during its last inspection in October 2011, the dam is classified as having a high hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. Located in the Tulsa District, the SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-34 is monitored for state permitting, inspection, and enforcement by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) to ensure its continued safe operation and maintenance.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-34 offers a fascinating example of infrastructure designed to mitigate flood risks and protect communities in Oklahoma. As a key component of the regional water management system, this dam showcases the collaboration between federal and state agencies in safeguarding against natural disasters and ensuring the sustainable use of water resources. With its historical significance and ongoing regulatory oversight, this site serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive planning and maintenance in adapting to changing environmental conditions and safeguarding against potential hazards.

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.
