Summary
Completed in 1963, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and stretches 1250 feet in length, providing flood risk reduction along the TR-Clear Boggy Creek. Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, this state-regulated dam has a storage capacity of 471 acre-feet and a maximum discharge rate of 2030 cubic feet per second.
With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, monitoring and maintenance of the SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-37 dam are crucial for ensuring its functionality in emergency situations. While the dam's condition has not been rated recently, regular inspections are conducted every five years to uphold its structural integrity and operational efficiency. Equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, this dam plays a vital role in safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and increase the frequency of extreme weather events, the importance of structures like the SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-37 dam in flood risk reduction cannot be understated. With its strategic location and state-regulated status, this dam serves as a critical piece of infrastructure designed to protect the community of Frisco and the surrounding areas from the impacts of high water levels and potential inundation.

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.
