Summary

1, located in Hamilton, Ohio, is a privately owned earth dam designed by the USDA's Soil Conservation Service. This recreational dam, completed in 1971, stands at a height of 32.8 feet and has a storage capacity of 21.2 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Department of Natural Resources of Ohio and is inspected for safety and compliance with state regulations.

Situated along a tributary to Eightmile Creek, Coldstream Country Club Dam No. 1 serves primarily for recreation purposes, offering a surface area of 1.7 acres for outdoor activities. Despite being classified with a low hazard potential, the dam is assessed to be in fair condition as of its last inspection in 2018. With a history of effective management and maintenance, this dam provides a safe and enjoyable environment for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate the beauty of this water infrastructure.

As part of the Louisville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Coldstream Country Club Dam No. 1 has not been associated with federal funding or design. The dam has a consistent inspection frequency of 5 years and meets state guidelines for emergency action planning. With its strategic location and essential role in water resource management, this dam stands as a testament to responsible stewardship of our natural environment.

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.
