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.
