Booth Kelly Lumber Pond (Lagoon) dam
Booth Kelly Lumber Pond (Lagoon)
Booth Kelly Lumber Pond (Lagoon), also known as Mosby Creek Log Pond, is a privately owned water resource located in Cottage Grove, Oregon. This Earth-type dam was completed in 1953 and stands at a height of 10 feet, with a hydraulic height of 8 feet and a structural height of 12 feet. The dam has a length of 350 feet and a storage capacity of 144 acre-feet, with a surface area of 17.3 acres and a drainage area of 0.17 square miles.
Situated on Mosby Creek, this lagoon has a low hazard potential and is not currently rated for its condition assessment. The dam features a slide (sluice gate) as its outlet gates and has a maximum discharge capacity of 53 cubic feet per second. The last inspection of Booth Kelly Lumber Pond took place on May 26, 2016, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 6 years. With a moderate risk level assigned to it, this water resource plays a significant role in the local ecosystem and water management in the area.
It is important to note that while Booth Kelly Lumber Pond serves a primary purpose of "Other," its presence is regulated and permitted by the state of Oregon, with inspection, enforcement, and permitting processes in place. The lagoon adds to the diversity of water resources in Lane County and contributes to the overall water management strategies in the region. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, this dam provides a unique opportunity to study the intersection of human infrastructure and natural ecosystems in a dynamic and changing climate.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Booth Kelly Lumber Pond (Lagoon)
Where does the data for Booth Kelly Lumber Pond (Lagoon) come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
