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.
