Summary

Completed in 1977, this dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a hydraulic height of 26 feet. With a storage capacity of 637 acre-feet, it serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction and has a controlled spillway.

This low-hazard dam, owned by the state and regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite its age, the dam remains in good standing with regular state inspections and enforcement measures in place. With a risk assessment indicating a very high risk level, the authorities are closely monitoring the site to ensure the safety of the surrounding area in case of emergencies.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-07 offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricacies of dam infrastructure and flood control. Situated in a picturesque location in Caney, Oklahoma, this dam stands as a testament to the collaboration between federal and state agencies in managing water resources effectively. As climate change continues to pose challenges, understanding the role of such structures in mitigating flood risks becomes increasingly important for sustainable water management practices.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
