Grubb, Inc. Lake, is a private dam located in Hartford, Ohio. Built in 1974 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet and spans a length of 340 feet, with a primary purpose of recreational use. The dam holds a storage capacity of 116 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 45 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 10.3 acres and draining a 0.19 square mile watershed.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is poor as of the last inspection in November 2020. It is regulated by the Department of Natural Resources in Ohio and undergoes regular inspections every five years. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status is unclear, raising concerns about its preparedness for potential incidents. With a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, there is a need for improved risk management measures to ensure the safety and stability of Grubb Lake Dam for both recreational activities and environmental protection along the Otter Fork tributary.
