Summary
Completed in 1975, this dam stands at a height of 27 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this structure is classified as "Other," with a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Boggess No 1 is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. The dam's condition assessment is currently marked as "Not Rated," with the last inspection taking place in June 2005. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it is subject to regular state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safety and integrity.
Situated along the TR-Trail Creek, Boggess No 1 serves to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events and plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. With its strategic location and design features, this dam exemplifies the importance of sustainable infrastructure for climate and water resource enthusiasts alike.

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.
