Summary
Completed in 1976, this dam stands at a height of 27 feet with a hydraulic height of 24 feet, serving a primary purpose of flood risk reduction. With a storage capacity of 191 acre-feet and a surface area of 6 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and mitigating flood hazards in the region.
Although last inspected in 1980, this dam has a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment. Despite its age, the SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-23 remains a key infrastructure for water resource management in the area, with a very high risk assessment rating. As part of the state's regulatory framework, this dam is subject to periodic inspections to ensure its continued functionality and safety for the surrounding community.
Located in Caney, Oklahoma, this earth dam with stone core types and soil foundations is under the jurisdiction of the OWRB and falls within the Fort Worth District of USACE. With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, this dam highlights the importance of proactive management and maintenance of water infrastructure for climate and water resource enthusiasts to monitor and support for sustainable water management practices in the region.

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.
