Summary
With a height of 37 feet and a length of 800 feet, this dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Caney Boggy Creek. It has a storage capacity of 556 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1.6 square miles, providing vital protection to the surrounding area from potential flooding.
The dam features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, with a hazard potential rated as low. Despite not being actively rated for condition assessment, the risk assessment for this structure is classified as very high. The dam has not undergone any modifications in recent years and has an inspection frequency of 5 years. The site is maintained and regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), ensuring its structural integrity and functionality in mitigating flood risks for the local community.
As a significant infrastructure for flood control in the region, SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-22 represents a crucial asset in water resource management and climate resilience efforts. Its strategic location and design not only provide essential protection against flooding but also contribute to the overall safety and well-being of the area. With careful monitoring and maintenance, this dam continues to play a vital role in safeguarding the community and its natural surroundings from potential water-related disasters.

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.
