Russellville Wwt Lagoon Basin #2 dam
Russellville Wwt Lagoon Basin #2
Russellville Wwt Lagoon Basin #2, located in Brown County, Ohio, is a significant water resource managed by the local government. Constructed in 1999 and designed by MM SCHIRTZINGER & ASSOCIATES, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 11.8 feet and has a storage capacity of 25.5 acre-feet. The lagoon spans over 2.1 acres and is situated along Eagle Creek, serving as a vital component of the region's water management system.
Regulated by the Department of Natural Resources in Ohio, Russellville Wwt Lagoon Basin #2 has been deemed to have a significant hazard potential, yet its condition assessment remains satisfactory as of the last inspection in June 2018. With a designated inspection frequency of every 5 years, the dam's emergency action plan and risk assessment status are currently undisclosed. This water resource infrastructure plays a crucial role in maintaining the environmental equilibrium and water supply for the local community in Neel, Ohio.
As climate change poses new challenges to water resource management, Russellville Wwt Lagoon Basin #2 stands as a critical structure for flood control and water storage along Eagle Creek. With its earth-type construction and state-regulated status, this dam symbolizes the collaboration between local government and environmental agencies to ensure the safety and sustainability of water resources in Brown County, Ohio. As enthusiasts of water resource and climate management, understanding the significance of structures like Russellville Wwt Lagoon Basin #2 highlights the importance of proactive measures in safeguarding our natural ecosystems in the face of evolving environmental threats.
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 Russellville Wwt Lagoon Basin #2
Where does the data for Russellville Wwt Lagoon Basin #2 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 Significant 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.
