With a height of 26 feet and a length of 1800 feet, this dam provides a storage capacity of 487 acre-feet and has a controlled spillway to manage a maximum discharge of 1325 cubic feet per second. Despite its age, the dam is classified as having a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition as of yet.
The site is under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Although the last inspection date recorded was in 1980, the dam's risk assessment is classified as very high, indicating the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance. The dam has one outlet gate and is situated in a scenic area with a surface area of 13 acres, providing both flood protection and recreational opportunities for the surrounding community.
With the potential for very high risk due to its age and the high volume of water it is designed to control, SCS-Leader-Mid Clr Boggy Cr Site-09 serves as a critical infrastructure for flood risk reduction in the area. Its location in a rural setting near the city of Olney, Oklahoma, adds to the charm of the site, making it an important asset for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate and monitor for future maintenance and preservation efforts.
