Summary

1 Dam, located in Clermont, Ohio, serves as a vital water supply source in the region and was completed in 1964 by the USDA NRCS. The dam is primarily made of earth and stone materials with a height of 27 feet and a length of 300 feet. With a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a surface area of 2.9 acres, the dam plays a significant role in managing water resources for the area.

Despite its crucial purpose, the dam is currently assessed to be in poor condition with a significant hazard potential. The last inspection in April 2018 highlighted the need for improvements to ensure the safety and stability of the structure. The dam is regulated by the Department of Natural Resources in Ohio and is subject to regular inspections and enforcement measures to mitigate risks associated with its condition. Water resource and climate enthusiasts should closely monitor the ongoing maintenance and risk management efforts at Royal Oak Golf Course Pond No. 1 Dam to safeguard its crucial role in water supply and ecological balance.

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.
