Summary
Completed in 1963, this dam stands at a height of 36 feet and has a length of 1820 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 1413 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is controlled, with a width of 1 foot, and it features one valve for outlet gates.
Despite its low hazard potential, SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-08 is categorized as having a very high risk of failure, with a risk assessment rating of 1. The dam's condition assessment is marked as "Not Rated," with the last inspection date recorded in 1980. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it is regularly inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. Additionally, the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, raising concerns about emergency preparedness in the event of a catastrophic event.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find SCS-Upper Clear Boggy Creek Site-08 to be an intriguing case study, given its historical significance and the potential implications of its high risk assessment. With its location along Goose Creek and its role in flood risk reduction, this dam serves as a critical infrastructure in the region. Further research and monitoring may be necessary to address the dam's risk factors and ensure the safety of surrounding communities and ecosystems.

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.
