Summary

Completed in 1979, this dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 226 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, the dam is inspected every 5 years, although its condition is currently not rated.

Despite being a relatively small structure, SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-12 plays a crucial role in managing flood risks in the area. Its primary purpose aligns with its flood risk reduction capabilities, serving as a protective barrier for the surrounding community. With a very high risk assessment of 1, the dam's importance in mitigating potential disasters cannot be understated.

Located in Boggy Depot and under the jurisdiction of OWRB, this dam is a testament to the collaborative efforts between state agencies and federal designers like the Natural Resources Conservation Service. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like SCS-Lower Clear Boggy Creek Site-12 will be vital in safeguarding communities and ecosystems from the escalating threats of extreme weather events.

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.
