Completed in 1965, this earth dam stands at a height of 36 feet, with a hydraulic height of 33 feet and a length of 900 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 108 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has been classified as having a very high risk level, emphasizing the importance of regular inspections and maintenance.
With a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate, this dam has not been rated for its current condition, as the last inspection took place in 1980. The structure is under the jurisdiction of the OWRB, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. Although the risk assessment indicates a high level of vulnerability, there is no documented emergency action plan prepared for this site, raising concerns about the readiness for potential incidents. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the SCS-Boggy Creek Site-09 serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for proactive risk management and infrastructure maintenance in the face of changing environmental conditions.
