Summary

2 Dam in Hamilton, Ohio, is a privately owned structure designed by Al Winhotz with a primary purpose of recreation. This earth dam stands at a height of 43.4 feet and has a storage capacity of 49.2 acre-feet. Located in the Great Miami River tributary, the dam has a significant hazard potential and was last inspected in April 2016, showing a fair condition assessment.

The dam has a spillway width of 0 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 355 cfs, serving its recreational purposes effectively. Despite its fair condition, the dam is state-regulated and inspected periodically by the Department of Natural Resources. With a drainage area of 0.07 square miles, the dam provides a surface area of 3.9 acres for recreational activities in the Gieringer area. It is essential to monitor and maintain this dam to ensure its safety and functionality for water resource and climate enthusiasts who frequent the Miami View Golf Club Pond No. 2.

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. 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

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, 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.
