Summary
Completed in 1961, this earth dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a length of 940 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 424 acre-feet and normal storage of 35 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this structure plays a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Located in Coal County, Oklahoma, this dam is regulated by the OWRB and undergoes state permitting, inspection, and enforcement processes to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. Despite its age, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment and last underwent inspection in 1980. With a very high risk rating, emergency action plans and risk management measures are crucial to mitigate any potential hazards associated with the dam. The presence of a valve outlet gate and its low hazard potential contribute to its overall safety and risk management strategies.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the importance of structures like the SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-01 is crucial in managing flood risks and protecting communities and ecosystems. With its strategic location, design elements, and state regulation, this dam exemplifies the collaborative efforts needed to ensure water resource management and climate resilience in the region. Keeping a close eye on its maintenance and risk assessment processes will be key in safeguarding the surrounding areas from potential inundation events.

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.
