Summary
Completed in 1964, this earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet and stretches 700 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 487 acre-feet. The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, contributing to its low hazard potential and very high risk assessment rating.
Located in Coal County, Oklahoma, near the city of Olney, this dam on the TR-Clear Boggy Creek is under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. Despite not having a recent condition assessment, the dam has a history of regular inspections, with the last recorded in 1980 and an inspection frequency of 5 years. With its primary purpose being flood risk reduction, SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-54 plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential inundation and ensuring the safety of residents and infrastructure in the region.
Managed by state authorities and with no associated federal agencies involved in its ownership or funding, this dam serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management and climate resilience in the area. With its earth construction and stone core design, SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-54 stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts between government agencies and the local community to mitigate flood risks and safeguard the environment for future generations.

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.
