Built in 1966 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at 22 feet high and spans a length of 1020 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 615 acre-feet. The dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is not yet rated.
Despite its age, SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-51 continues to play a crucial role in managing flood risks in the area, with a very high risk assessment due to its location and design. The dam is under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board and undergoes regular inspections, though the last one was conducted back in 1980. Despite the lack of recent inspection data, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are currently unknown, leaving room for potential improvements to enhance its safety and effectiveness in the face of climate change impacts on water resources.
