Completed in 1983, the dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 425 acre-feet. The dam's spillway is controlled, with a width of 1 foot, and it features a single valve outlet gate.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the site is associated with very high risk due to its proximity to the TR-Muddy Boggy Creek. The dam has not been rated for condition assessment and has not received an assessment date. Its emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are not currently available. The dam site has not been modified in recent years, and its last inspection date was in 1980, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. Overall, SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-12 presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in dam infrastructure and risk management in Oklahoma.
