With a height of 51 feet and a length of 760 feet, this dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Caney Boggy Creek. The dam has a storage capacity of 2,918 acre-feet and a drainage area of 5.9 square miles, with a controlled spillway and a maximum discharge of 2,830 cubic feet per second.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential, SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-23 is deemed to have a very high risk due to its location and the potential consequences of failure. The dam has not been rated for its condition, and the last inspection dates back to January 1, 1980. Emergency action plans, risk management measures, and inundation maps are not currently in place, highlighting the need for updated safety protocols and regular inspections to ensure the dam's integrity and the safety of downstream communities. Climate enthusiasts and water resource professionals are encouraged to monitor the site closely and advocate for further risk assessment and mitigation efforts to protect both the environment and public safety.
