Summary
Completed in 1961, this earth dam stands at a height of 56 feet, with a length of 700 feet and a storage capacity of 625 acre-feet. Situated along the TR-NORTH FORK JACK FK CR, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region.
Owned by the state and regulated by the OWRB, SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-35 is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water control. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is rated as having very high risk due to its condition assessment being marked as "Not Rated." With a history of regular inspections dating back to 1980 and an inspection frequency of 5 years, the dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness plans are currently unspecified.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-35 presents a fascinating case study in dam infrastructure and flood risk management. With its strategic location in Pontotoc, Oklahoma, and its history of serving the community since the 1960s, this dam provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with water management in the region. As efforts continue to assess and address the dam's risk potential, there is a growing focus on enhancing its safety protocols and emergency response plans to ensure the protection of both lives and property in the area.

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.
