Completed in 1965, this dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a storage capacity of 305 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and one outlet valve, the dam has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for condition assessment.
Despite not being regularly inspected since 1980, SCS-Leader-Mid Clr Boggy Cr Site-05 is considered to have a very high risk of failure, likely due to its age and lack of recent maintenance. While the dam serves its primary purpose of flood risk reduction, its condition and risk management measures are not well-documented. With the potential for a high-risk situation, it is crucial for the state regulatory agency OWRB to conduct more frequent inspections and ensure that emergency preparedness protocols are in place to protect downstream communities from the threat of dam failure.
