Built in 1958 by the USDA NRCS, this earth-core dam stands at a height of 33.4 feet and spans a length of 325 feet. The primary purpose of this dam is for recreation, providing a surface area of 5.5 acres and a maximum storage capacity of 118 acre-feet.
Despite being regulated by the Department of Natural Resources in Ohio, the dam's condition assessment is rated as poor, with a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment. The last inspection conducted in October 2018 revealed the need for improvements, as the dam's overall condition has raised concerns. With the potential to impact the surrounding area, it is essential for stakeholders to address the necessary maintenance and risk management measures to ensure the safety and functionality of Badger Pond Dam for both recreational and environmental purposes.
