This dam stands at a height of 30 feet with a hydraulic height of 27 feet, providing a NID storage capacity of 290 acre-feet. The dam's low hazard potential and very high risk assessment rating make it a critical infrastructure for managing water resources and protecting the surrounding community from potential flooding events.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-32a features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and a valve outlet gate for water control. Although the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, it undergoes inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and effectiveness in flood prevention. With the dam's strategic location in Caney and its contribution to reducing flood risks in the area, it serves as a vital component in the state's water resource management efforts and climate resilience initiatives.
