Beallsville Sportsman Club Lake Dam dam
Beallsville Sportsman Club Lake Dam
Beallsville Sportsman Club Lake Dam, located in Monroe County, Ohio, was completed in 1958 and is owned privately. The dam, designed by the USDA NRCS, serves a primary purpose of recreation and stands at a height of 25 feet. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, this earthen dam on TRIB PINEY FORK is classified as uncontrolled, with an uncontrolled spillway width of 10 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 17 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 172 feet.
Despite not being regulated by the state, Beallsville Sportsman Club Lake Dam remains a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts seeking recreational opportunities. The dam's condition is currently not rated, and it has not undergone recent inspections or assessments as of the latest data update in May 2021. With its stone core and soil foundation, the dam provides a safe and enjoyable environment for visitors to engage in various water-related activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. While the dam poses a moderate risk, proper management measures and emergency preparedness can ensure the safety of those who frequent the area.
Beallsville Sportsman Club Lake Dam, situated in the Huntington District, offers a peaceful retreat for individuals looking to connect with nature and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape. With its tranquil waters and scenic views, this recreational dam provides a perfect setting for outdoor adventures and relaxation. Although its hazard potential is low, the dam's moderate risk rating underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to uphold safety standards and preserve the area's natural beauty for future generations to appreciate.

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 Beallsville Sportsman Club Lake Dam
Where does the data for Beallsville Sportsman Club Lake Dam 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.
