Summary
The dam, classified as an Earth type, stands 8 feet tall and spans 600 feet, creating a storage capacity of 242 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 127 acre-feet and a surface area of 21.4 acres, the dam plays a vital role in providing water-based recreational activities for the local community.
Managed by a private owner, the Turner-Jordan Lake Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, the dam undergoes regular inspections every five years to ensure its safety and functionality. In the event of emergencies, the dam operators are prepared to respond effectively, although specific emergency action plans and guidelines were not provided in the data.
Situated along a tributary to Hugle Run, the Turner-Jordan Lake Dam is nestled in a picturesque location in Oneida, Ohio. While the dam does not have significant federal agency involvement, its importance lies in providing a recreational oasis for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various water-based activities in a serene natural setting.

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.
