Summary
Completed in 1982, this dam stands at 41 feet in height and spans 730 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 573 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, this structure plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water release. Despite its age, the dam has not undergone a condition assessment and is currently not rated. While the last inspection was conducted in 1980, the dam is subject to regular inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. With its critical importance in flood risk reduction in the region, the SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-24 serves as a key component in water resource management efforts in Oklahoma.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts track the ongoing maintenance and regulatory oversight of the SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-24, its strategic location and design by the USDA NRCS demonstrate a commitment to sustainable water management practices. With a state jurisdiction and oversight by the OWRB, this dam plays a vital role in safeguarding the local community from potential flood events. As the structure continues to be monitored and inspected for any necessary updates or modifications, its presence serves as a cornerstone in the region's resilience against water-related hazards.

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.
