Summary
This flood risk reduction structure, completed in 1978, stands at a height of 25 feet with a hydraulic height of 21 feet. The dam spans 900 feet in length, with a normal storage capacity of 110 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 516 cubic feet per second. Despite its low hazard potential, the site is considered to have a very high risk rating, emphasizing the critical need for effective risk management measures to protect the surrounding area.
Located in the Tulsa District, the dam at SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-09 is primarily constructed of stone with a soil foundation. It features a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate for water control. While the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, it undergoes inspections every five years to ensure its structural integrity. With a drainage area of 1.71 square miles and a surface area of 17 acres, this site plays a crucial role in mitigating flood risks in the region, highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management practices in the face of climate change.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the data for SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-09 provides valuable insights into the infrastructure and management of this vital flood risk reduction system. With its state-regulated status and high-risk rating, it underscores the need for proactive measures to safeguard communities and the environment from potential hazards. By understanding the technical details and significance of this water resource site, we can advocate for sustainable practices and policies that promote resilience in the face of changing climate conditions, ensuring the long-term protection of our water resources and communities.

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.
