Summary
The dam, with a height of 14.6 feet, creates a reservoir with a storage capacity of 28.6 acre-feet and a surface area of 5.4 acres. This earth dam, completed for recreational purposes, is regulated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity.
Despite its significant hazard potential and poor condition assessment in 2016, the Youngstown Country Club Lake Dam remains a popular spot for outdoor activities. The dam sits on a tributary to Crab Creek and is essential for maintaining water levels for the surrounding area. The dam's emergency action plan and risk assessment status are currently unclear, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to address any potential safety concerns.
With a congressman representing the district as Tim Ryan (D), efforts to secure funding and support for the dam's upkeep are crucial. As enthusiasts of water resources and climate, it is important to stay informed about the condition of infrastructure like the Youngstown Country Club Lake Dam to ensure the safety and sustainability of our natural environment.

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.
