Stockport Mill Country Inn Water Power Project dam
Stockport Mill Country Inn Water Power Project
The Stockport Mill Country Inn Water Power Project, also known as the Muskingum River Lock and Dam No 6, is a historic site located in Stockport, Ohio. Built in 1891, this concrete dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a hydraulic height of 12.3 feet, serving primarily for recreational purposes. The dam has a storage capacity of 3,761 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 476 acres, with a drainage area of 7,447 acres.
Managed by a private owner, the Stockport Mill Country Inn Water Power Project is regulated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. With a high hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite its age, the dam has not had a recent condition assessment and its emergency action plan has not been updated in several years, suggesting potential vulnerabilities that should be addressed.
Located on the Muskingum River and part of the Huntington District, the Stockport Mill Country Inn Water Power Project serves as a picturesque attraction for water resource and climate enthusiasts. With its rich history and unique water power capabilities, this site offers a glimpse into the past while also highlighting the importance of sustainable water management practices in the present day.
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.
Plan around the weather
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Stockport Mill Country Inn Water Power Project
Where does the data for Stockport Mill Country Inn Water Power Project 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 High 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.
