Summary
The lagoon, completed in 2001, serves as a crucial water resource management system for the local government of New Bloomington. With a capacity of 53.5 acre-feet and a surface area of 8.7 acres, this earth dam structure plays a significant role in tailings management and water treatment in the region.
Managed by the Department of Natural Resources, the Larue Wastewater Treatment Lagoon has a satisfactory condition assessment and a significant hazard potential. The facility undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in November 2020. With a drainage area of 0.01 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 10 cubic feet per second, the lagoon contributes to the overall water quality and environmental protection efforts in the area.
The lagoon's location near an unnamed tributary to the Scioto River highlights its importance in maintaining water quality and managing wastewater effectively. With a focus on tailings management and water treatment, the Larue Wastewater Treatment Lagoon stands as a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure, ensuring the protection of the surrounding environment and public health.

Dam Data Reference
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.
