Summary

Built in 1996, the lagoons serve as a crucial infrastructure for treating wastewater from the surrounding area. With a dam height of 11 feet and a storage capacity of 66 acre-feet, the facility plays a vital role in maintaining water quality in Nettle Creek and the surrounding watershed.

The lagoons have a surface area of 8.8 acres and a drainage area of 0.02 square miles, making them essential for managing stormwater runoff and preventing water pollution. The facility is equipped with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, ensuring proper water flow and management during heavy rain events. Despite being classified as a significant hazard potential structure, the lagoons are in satisfactory condition, with regular inspections and a moderate risk assessment rating.

Nettle Lake Wwtp Lagoons serve as a crucial asset for the local government in Montpelier, Ohio, providing essential wastewater treatment and water management services. With a focus on environmental protection and sustainable water resource management, the facility plays a key role in safeguarding water quality and ensuring the health of Nettle Creek and its surrounding ecosystem.

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.
