Summary

Built in 1960 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this earth dam stands at a height of 40 feet and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-Goose Creek. With a storage capacity of 353 acre-feet, this dam helps control water flow and minimize flood damage in the area.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-13 is deemed to have a very high risk level, indicating the importance of its maintenance and monitoring. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate for water release. Although last inspected in 1980, the dam is scheduled for inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. The overall condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated," suggesting the need for further evaluation.

Given its critical role in flood risk management and water resource protection, stakeholders and climate enthusiasts should closely monitor the condition and maintenance of SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-13. With potential risks identified and a comprehensive risk management plan in place, the dam continues to play a vital role in safeguarding the surrounding community from potential flood events. As efforts to mitigate climate change intensify, ensuring the safety and proper functioning of such infrastructure remains a top priority for sustainable water resource management.

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.
