Scs-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-35 dam
Scs-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-35
The SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-35 in Hughes, Oklahoma, is a state-regulated dam designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1983 for flood risk reduction along the TR-RANCH CR river or stream. This earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a length of 1760 feet, providing a storage capacity of 340 acre-feet and serving a drainage area of 826 acres. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing flood risks in the region.
Despite being state-regulated and inspected with a 5-year frequency, the condition assessment of the SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-35 is currently marked as "Not Rated." However, its risk assessment is classified as "Very High (1)," highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and management. With a valve outlet gate and a surface area of 10 acres, this dam remains a key infrastructure for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area, ensuring the safety and protection of the surrounding communities against potential flood events.
As part of the flood risk reduction strategy in the region, the SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-35 is a critical piece of infrastructure that requires continued attention and maintenance to uphold its functionality and safety standards. With a low hazard potential and a controlled spillway, this dam serves as a key element in the overall water resource management efforts along the TR-RANCH CR, providing essential storage capacity and flood protection for the local area. Its design by the USDA NRCS and state regulation by the OWRB underscore the collaborative efforts to safeguard the community and environment from the impacts of extreme weather events and ensure sustainable water resource management practices for the future.

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-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-35
Where does the data for Scs-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-35 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.
