Summary
1 & 2 are vital water supply structures with a capacity of 1228.4 acre-feet, serving the local community since their completion in 1969. Managed by the Department of Natural Resources, these earth dams stand at a height of 24 feet and have a combined length of 7200 feet, ensuring the storage of ample water for various purposes. The reservoirs cover a surface area of 63.7 acres and are fed by the Rocky Ford Creek, making them essential for water resource management in the region.
With a high hazard potential but a satisfactory condition assessment as of December 2019, the North Baltimore Ug Reservoirs are subject to regular inspections to ensure their structural integrity and functionality. The designer of these structures, Floyd G. Browne & Associates from Marion, Ohio, has played a crucial role in their development and maintenance. The reservoirs have been regulated, permitted, and inspected by the state authorities, highlighting their compliance with safety and environmental standards.
As climate change continues to impact water resources, the North Baltimore Ug Reservoirs No. 1 & 2 serve as key assets for the community, providing essential water supply for domestic, agricultural, and industrial needs. With their strategic location and significant storage capacity, these reservoirs play a crucial role in maintaining water security and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions, making them invaluable assets for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region.

Dam Data Reference
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.
