Despite its current condition assessment, efforts are likely needed to address maintenance and safety concerns to ensure the continuous functionality of the dam and the safety of the surrounding community.
Although Lake Gloria Dam poses a low hazard potential, its poor condition warrants attention and potential remediation efforts to ensure its structural integrity and safety. As a key recreation spot in New Burlington, Ohio, the dam's significance extends beyond just water resource management, highlighting the importance of ongoing inspection, maintenance, and potential improvements to ensure the safety and sustainability of this vital infrastructure.
