Summary

Completed in 1965, this structure stands at a height of 31 feet and has a storage capacity of 302 acre-feet, serving the TR-Boggy Creek watershed. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting downstream areas from potential flooding events.

Managed by the OWRB, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-25a has a very high risk assessment rating but is currently not rated for condition assessment. Despite this, the dam has undergone regular inspections, with the last one conducted in August 2005. With a single valve outlet gate and a surface area of 14 acres, this structure is a key component of the local water resource management system. As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and advocate for sustainable water management practices, SCS-Boggy Creek Site-25a serves as a tangible example of the importance of resilient infrastructure in mitigating the impacts of extreme weather events on communities and ecosystems.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No 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

High
Dams 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.
