Summary
Completed in 1983, this earth dam stands at 26 feet tall with a length of 1120 feet, providing a storage capacity of 299 acre-feet and serving a drainage area of 678 acres. The dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water management.
Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the risk assessment for SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-05 indicates a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance. The dam has not been rated for its condition, and there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared for it as of the last update in 1980. With a high risk profile, it is essential for stakeholders to prioritize risk management measures and ensure the safety and integrity of this critical flood control infrastructure in the region.
With its location on TR-SINCERE CR within the Tulsa District, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks and protecting downstream communities. As climate change continues to impact water resources and increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, the maintenance and upkeep of structures like SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-05 are vital in safeguarding lives and property against the threat of flooding in Oklahoma.

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.
