Summary
The dam stands at 30 feet high with a hydraulic height of 27 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 447 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and valve outlet gates, the dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for condition assessment since its last inspection in 1980.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the dam serves as a crucial infrastructure for water resource management in the region, with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction. Despite being nearly four decades old, the dam's risk assessment remains at a very high level, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance. While the dam has not been modified in recent years and lacks an official Emergency Action Plan, its critical role in mitigating flood risks highlights the need for continued regulatory oversight and potential upgrades to meet evolving climate challenges in the area.
Located in Caney and under the jurisdiction of Oklahoma's OWRB, SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-05 contributes to the overall water management efforts in the state. With a surface area of 18 acres and a drainage area that is not specified, the dam plays a vital role in protecting the local community from potential inundation during heavy rainfall events. As climate change continues to impact precipitation patterns and extreme weather events in the region, the dam's significance in flood control and water resource conservation is expected to grow, necessitating proactive measures to ensure its long-term effectiveness and safety.

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.
