Summary
Completed in 1965, this dam stands at a height of 36 feet with a hydraulic height of 33 feet and a length of 670 feet. It has a storage capacity of 115 acre-feet and a normal storage of 44 acre-feet, serving as a crucial structure for managing water resources in the area.
The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate consisting of a single valve. Despite being rated with a low hazard potential and having a very high risk assessment of 1, the condition of the dam is currently not rated. The last inspection date was in 1980, with a recommended inspection frequency of every 5 years. With the dam falling under state jurisdiction and regulatory oversight by the OWRB, it plays a significant role in mitigating flood risks and ensuring the safety of the surrounding community and water resources.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find SCS-Boggy Creek Site-14 an intriguing structure, given its historical significance and importance in flood risk reduction efforts. The dam's location along the TR-WEST BOGGY CREEK river, its low hazard potential, and high-risk assessment make it a noteworthy subject for further study and evaluation. As a state-regulated site with a solid design by the USDA NRCS, this dam serves as a critical piece of infrastructure in managing water resources and protecting the local ecosystem from potential flooding events.

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.
