Scs-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-10 dam
Scs-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-10
SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-10, located in Atoka, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated dam designed by USDA NRCS with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction. Completed in 1955, this earth dam stands at a height of 41 feet and has a hydraulic height of 35 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 281 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this dam on Rock Creek plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing flood risks in the area.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-10 is equipped with a valve outlet gate and has undergone inspections every 5 years. Although its condition assessment is currently not rated, its risk assessment is categorized as very high (1), emphasizing the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance. Despite its age, this dam remains a key infrastructure for water resource management in the region and serves as a testament to the engineering expertise of its designers.
As a vital component of the flood risk reduction efforts in Atoka, Oklahoma, SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-10 showcases the collaboration between state and federal agencies in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources. With its stone core and soil foundations, this dam exemplifies the innovative engineering solutions employed to mitigate potential risks and protect the surrounding communities. As climate change continues to impact water systems, the importance of maintaining and upgrading infrastructure like SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-10 becomes increasingly evident, highlighting the ongoing need for effective water resource management strategies.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Scs-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-10
Where does the data for Scs-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-10 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
