Summary

This dam, designed by USDA and SCS, stands at a height of 23 feet and has a length of 380 feet, providing a storage capacity of 68.7 acre-feet. Despite its recreational focus, the dam poses a significant hazard potential with a poor condition assessment as of October 2018.

Managed by the Department of Natural Resources in Ohio, Davlin Lynch LLC Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state. The dam's drainage area is 0.41 square miles, with a maximum discharge capacity of 467 cubic feet per second. With a surface area of 5.7 acres and a normal storage capacity of 26 acre-feet, the dam serves as a critical water resource in the region.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts will find Davlin Lynch LLC Dam an intriguing structure due to its significant hazard potential and poor condition assessment. With its location in Washington County, Ohio, and its association with the tributary to Tupper Creek, the dam is a focal point for both recreational activities and water management efforts in the area. Its state-regulated status and key role in drainage and storage further highlight its importance in the region's water resource management landscape.

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.
