Clinton County Wwt Lagoon dam
Clinton County Wwt Lagoon
Clinton County Wwt Lagoon, located in Midland, Ohio, is a significant water resource facility regulated by the Department of Natural Resources. 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. With its strategic location and capacity to handle wastewater effectively, this lagoon serves as a testament to the commitment towards sustainable water resource management and climate resilience in the area.
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 Clinton County Wwt Lagoon
Where does the data for Clinton County 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.
