Summary
Completed in 1964, this dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate, it plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing the risk of flooding in the area.
Despite being classified as having a significant hazard potential, the dam is currently in fair condition, according to a 2011 inspection report. The risk assessment for this structure is very high, indicating the importance of regular maintenance and monitoring to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood control. With the state enforcing regulations and conducting inspections, the SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-52 remains a key component in the water resource management infrastructure of the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-52 serves as a fascinating example of engineering and environmental stewardship in action. Its presence underscores the ongoing efforts to mitigate flood risks and manage water resources effectively in Oklahoma. As climate change continues to impact weather patterns, structures like this dam become even more critical in safeguarding communities and ecosystems from the devastating effects of flooding.

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.
