Summary
Built in 1960 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 25 feet, with a hydraulic height of 21 feet. It has a maximum storage capacity of 93 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 48 acre-feet, serving to mitigate the risk of flooding in the area.
The dam features a controlled spillway and an outlet gate for water release, with a hazard potential rated as low and a very high risk assessment level. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam has been inspected periodically since its last recorded inspection in 1980. The surrounding Piney Creek and its drainage area benefit from the flood risk reduction measures put in place by this structure, showcasing the importance of water resource management in mitigating climate-related challenges.
Overall, SCS-Upper Muddy Boggy Creek Site-28 serves as a vital component in the state's flood risk reduction efforts, highlighting the collaborative efforts of the USDA NRCS and the OWRB in safeguarding communities against potential water-related disasters. This site stands as a testament to the importance of proactive infrastructure development and maintenance in ensuring the resilience of water resources in the face of a changing climate.

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.
