Summary
This earth dam stands at 25 feet high and stretches 1000 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 360 acre-feet and a spillway type categorized as "Controlled". Despite being considered a low hazard potential structure, it has a very high risk assessment rating, indicating the importance of regular inspections and maintenance.
The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving as a crucial infrastructure in safeguarding the surrounding areas from potential flooding events. While the dam is not under the jurisdiction of any federal agency, it is regulated and permitted by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), with state inspections and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and functionality. The dam's design includes stone core types and a soil foundation, with a valve outlet gate for water release.
Although the dam's condition assessment is currently rated as "Not Rated" and the last inspection dates back to 1980, the structure is deemed to have a very high risk level that necessitates continued monitoring and potential risk management measures. With its location in a region prone to flooding, maintaining the integrity of SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-53 is essential for protecting the local community and water resources in the area.

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.
