Summary

Built in 2007 by Burgess and Niple, Inc., this earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and stretches 5000 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 199 acre-feet. The lagoon serves as a crucial component in the management of wastewater, with a normal storage capacity of 104 acre-feet and a surface area of 22.7 acres.

The facility is situated along the East Fork of Todd Fork Creek and is subject to regular inspections, with the last assessment conducted in March 2019, deeming its condition as satisfactory. With a hazard potential classified as significant, Clinton County Wwt Lagoon operates with a five-year inspection frequency to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Owned by the local government, this lagoon plays a vital role in wastewater treatment and environmental protection efforts in the region.

Managed under state jurisdiction and permitting, Clinton County Wwt Lagoon operates as a key player in water resource management in Clinton County, Ohio.

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.
