Located in Verdi, Nevada, Boca is a federal-owned dam on the Little Truckee River in California. Built in 1939 by the Bureau of Reclamation, Boca serves primarily for hydroelectric purposes and irrigation. Standing at 116 feet in height with a structural height of 116 feet, Boca has a storage capacity of 41,141 acre-feet and a drainage area of 171 square miles. With a maximum discharge of 8,000 cubic feet per second, Boca features a controlled spillway with a width of 40 feet.

Despite its age, Boca has a high hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating. Although the condition assessment is not available, regular inspections by the Bureau of Reclamation ensure the safety and integrity of the dam. Emergency action plans have been prepared and meet guidelines, with the last revision in May 2017. With its critical role in water resource management and energy production, Boca remains a key infrastructure in the region, warranting close monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks associated with its operation.
