Summary

Built in 1930 by the NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 90 acre-feet. The dam's spillway type is controlled, with a spillway width of 1 foot, and it is equipped with a valve outlet gate.

Despite being rated as having low hazard potential, SCS-Boggy Depot Site-4 is classified as a very high risk due to its location on TR SANDY CR and its condition being not rated. The dam has not undergone a condition assessment since its last inspection in 1980, with an inspection frequency of every 5 years. Emergency action plans and risk management measures are currently not in place, highlighting the need for updated safety protocols and maintenance to mitigate potential risks associated with this structure.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find this site intriguing due to its historical significance and potential for recreational activities. However, the lack of recent evaluations and emergency preparedness raise concerns about the safety and sustainability of SCS-Boggy Depot Site-4. Further monitoring and maintenance efforts are essential to ensure the continued protection of surrounding communities and the environment.

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.
