Summary
is a privately owned dam in Logan, Oklahoma, located on TR-BOGGY CREEK. Built in 1975, this earth dam stands at 20 feet in height and has a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet. The dam serves multiple purposes and is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
With a controlled spillway and valve outlet gates, Berg J.E. has a low hazard potential but is classified as having a very high risk due to its condition assessment being labeled as "Not Rated." The dam has a history of regular inspections, with the last one conducted in August 2011. Despite its risk level, the dam has not had an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared or updated, raising concerns for its emergency preparedness and response in case of a potential failure.
Given its location near Guthrie, Oklahoma, and its proximity to residential areas, it is crucial for stakeholders to work together to address the identified risks and ensure the safety of Berg J.E. as a vital water resource in the region. Climate enthusiasts and water resource professionals should closely monitor the dam's condition and advocate for the development of an updated EAP and risk management measures to mitigate the identified risks and enhance the dam's overall safety and resilience.

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.
