Summary

Completed in 1969, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and spans 330 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 18 acre-feet. Situated on TRIB LICK FORK, this dam is regulated by the Department of Natural Resources in Ohio and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement.

With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of May 2019, Wiemeyer Pond Dam poses a moderate risk level. The spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 40 feet, and the dam's outlet gates are also uncontrolled. Despite its recreational focus, this dam serves an important role in managing water resources in the area, with a drainage area of 0.05 square miles and a surface area of 3 acres.

Overall, Wiemeyer Pond Dam stands as a testament to the careful management of water resources in Ohio, providing both recreational opportunities and essential flood control measures. Climate and water resource enthusiasts will appreciate the intricate design and regulatory oversight that ensures the safety and functionality of this important earth dam.

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.
