Red Hill Farm Dam No. 4 dam
Red Hill Farm Dam No. 4
Red Hill Farm Dam No. 4, located in Antrim, Ohio, is a privately owned earth dam constructed in 1994 for the primary purpose of irrigation. The dam stands at a height of 39.6 feet and has a storage capacity of 50.2 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 27.1 acre-feet. Situated on a tributary to Brushy Fork, this dam plays a crucial role in providing water for agricultural use in the region.
Managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Red Hill Farm Dam No. 4 has been inspected regularly, with the last assessment conducted in September 2017, showing a satisfactory condition and low hazard potential. With a drainage area of 0.03 square miles and a surface area of 2.6 acres, this dam contributes to water resource management and supports the local ecosystem. The dam's designer, Bair, Goodie & Assoc, ensured its structural integrity and compliance with state regulations, making it a reliable asset for water storage and irrigation needs in Guernsey County.
Overall, Red Hill Farm Dam No. 4 serves as a vital water management structure in Ohio, providing irrigation water for agricultural activities in the region. With its strategic location and efficient design, this dam plays a significant role in enhancing water resource sustainability and climate resilience. As a state-regulated and inspected facility, it exemplifies best practices in dam safety and underscores the importance of proper infrastructure for water storage and management in the face of changing environmental conditions.
Dam data reference
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.
- 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.
- 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.
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, environmental 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.

About Red Hill Farm Dam No. 4
Where does the data for Red Hill Farm Dam No. 4 come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
