Designed by Paul A. Uhlmann, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and has a length of 550 feet, with a storage capacity of 262 acre-feet. The dam regulates the flow of the Rocky Fork river and covers a surface area of 17.4 acres, supporting a drainage area of 11.4 square miles.
Despite its age, the dam is reported to be in poor condition, with a significant hazard potential. The Department of Natural Resources in Ohio is responsible for regulating and inspecting the dam to ensure public safety. The last inspection in December 2020 revealed the need for maintenance and improvements. With a history of modifications and a designated emergency action plan, Amann Reservoir Dam remains a critical infrastructure requiring ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to safeguard the surrounding community and environment.
