Summary
Managed by the USDA NRCS, this Earth-type dam was completed in 1965 and has a height of 22 feet, with a storage capacity of 1,488 acre-feet. The reservoir covers an area of 75 acres and is fed by the offstream Marsh Run, providing a critical water source for the community of New Pittsburgh.
With a high hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment, Celeryville Upground Reservoir is regulated by the Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality. The spillway type is uncontrolled, and the outlet gates are also uncontrolled. Despite the moderate risk assessment rating, measures are in place to manage any potential risks associated with the reservoir. The reservoir plays a vital role in supplying water for various purposes, highlighting the importance of responsible water resource management in the region.
As a key water supply infrastructure in the area, Celeryville Upground Reservoir serves as a crucial resource for the community and underscores the significance of maintaining and regulating such structures to ensure water security and sustainability. With its strategic location and operational history dating back to the 1960s, the reservoir continues to play a pivotal role in meeting the water needs of residents and businesses in Crawford County, Ohio. This reservoir stands as a testament to the importance of effective water management practices in mitigating climate challenges and ensuring a reliable water supply for the future.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
