Summary

2 Dam, located in Peninsula, Ohio, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA Soil Conservation Service. Completed in 1970, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a serene setting for water enthusiasts to enjoy. Standing at a height of 26.2 feet and spanning 290 feet in length, the dam has a storage capacity of 19 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 2.2 acres, making it an important part of the local landscape.

Although categorized as having a low hazard potential, the condition assessment of Gund Pond No. 2 Dam is reported as poor, warranting attention and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and functionality. The dam is subject to state regulation by the Department of Natural Resources, with required inspections and permitting in place. Despite its current condition, this dam remains an integral part of the local ecosystem, serving as a tributary to the Cuyahoga River and contributing to the overall water resource management in the area.

As water resource and climate enthusiasts, it is important to recognize the significance of dams like Gund Pond No. 2 in maintaining ecological balance and providing recreational opportunities. By staying informed about the condition and maintenance of such structures, we can play a role in safeguarding our water resources for future generations to enjoy.

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.
