Summary
This earth dam, designed by USDA NRCS, stands at a height of 31 feet and was completed in 1980 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Walnut Creek. With a storage capacity of 424 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 121 acre-feet, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and mitigating potential flooding in the area.
The dam has a controlled spillway, one valve outlet gate, and is classified as having a significant hazard potential with a fair condition assessment. The last inspection was conducted in September 2011, with an inspection frequency of 3 years. The risk assessment for this dam is rated as very high (1), highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and effectiveness in flood mitigation. The dam is under the jurisdiction of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is part of the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Overall, SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-27 serves as a crucial infrastructure for flood control in the region, providing protection to the surrounding community and environment. Its strategic location and design demonstrate a commitment to water resource management and climate resilience, reflecting the collaborative efforts of state and federal agencies in safeguarding against potential water-related risks. As a key component of the local water infrastructure, this dam underscores the importance of proactive monitoring and maintenance to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the community it serves.

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.
