Summary
This earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a length of 1760 feet, providing a storage capacity of 340 acre-feet and serving a drainage area of 826 acres. With a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing flood risks in the region.
Despite being state-regulated and inspected with a 5-year frequency, the condition assessment of the SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-35 is currently marked as "Not Rated." However, its risk assessment is classified as "Very High (1)," highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and management. With a valve outlet gate and a surface area of 10 acres, this dam remains a key infrastructure for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area, ensuring the safety and protection of the surrounding communities against potential flood events.
As part of the flood risk reduction strategy in the region, the SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-35 is a critical piece of infrastructure that requires continued attention and maintenance to uphold its functionality and safety standards. With a low hazard potential and a controlled spillway, this dam serves as a key element in the overall water resource management efforts along the TR-RANCH CR, providing essential storage capacity and flood protection for the local area. Its design by the USDA NRCS and state regulation by the OWRB underscore the collaborative efforts to safeguard the community and environment from the impacts of extreme weather events and ensure sustainable water resource management practices for the future.

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.
