West Mansfield Wwt Lagoon dam
West Mansfield Wwt Lagoon
West Mansfield Wwt Lagoon, located in York Center, Ohio, is a state-regulated water resource managed by the Department of Natural Resources. This lagoon, completed in 1997, serves as an Earth-type dam with a height of 10 feet and a storage capacity of 80.5 acre-feet. With a surface area of 8.1 acres and a drainage area of 0.02 square miles, this lagoon plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
The primary purpose of West Mansfield Wwt Lagoon is classified as 'Other', and it is used for various purposes including water management and environmental protection. The lagoon has a significant hazard potential and is classified as in fair condition as of the last assessment in November 2020. With a regular inspection frequency of 5 years, this lagoon ensures the safety and efficiency of its operations while meeting state regulatory standards. Furthermore, it is situated near an unnamed tributary to Bloke Creek, highlighting its importance in the local water ecosystem.
Managed by the local government and designed by Poggemeyer Design Group, West Mansfield Wwt Lagoon stands as a vital infrastructure supporting the water resource management efforts in Logan County, Ohio. With its completion in 1997, this lagoon has been instrumental in flood control, water storage, and environmental conservation in the region. Its consistent inspection and regulatory compliance demonstrate a commitment to ensuring the sustainability and resilience of the local water resources in the face of climate challenges and changing environmental conditions.

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 West Mansfield Wwt Lagoon
Where does the data for West Mansfield Wwt Lagoon 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.
