Summary

Constructed in 1997 by MCGILL SMITH PUNSHON, INC., this earth-type dam stands at a height of 36.93 feet and has a dam length of 410 feet. With a storage capacity of 325 acre-feet, the dam serves the primary purpose of water supply for the surrounding area.

Managed and regulated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the dam has a high hazard potential but is currently in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in March 2019. The dam's normal storage capacity is 179.9 acre-feet, with a surface area of 19.2 acres and a drainage area of 0.34 square miles. In case of emergencies, the dam is equipped with emergency action plans and has designated emergency contacts to ensure public safety.

Situated along Bares Run, a tributary in the Louisville District, Clermont Golf Limited Lake Dam plays a crucial role in water management and supply in the region. With its strategic location and sound structural integrity, the dam continues to serve as a vital resource for water enthusiasts and climate advocates interested in sustainable water resource management practices.

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.
