Attica Wastewater Treatment Lagoon Reservoir Report
Last Updated: February 21, 2026
The Attica Wastewater Treatment Lagoon, located in Bloomville, Ohio, is a significant water resource managed by the local government.
Summary
Completed in 2016 by MAKEEVER AND ASSOCIATES, INC., this Earth dam structure stands at a height of 16.1 feet and has a storage capacity of 269 acre-feet. The lagoon serves as a vital component of the local wastewater treatment system, contributing to the overall environmental health of the area.
Regulated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Attica Wastewater Treatment Lagoon undergoes regular inspections to ensure its satisfactory condition and significant hazard potential. With a drainage area of 0.03 square miles and a proximity to the Honey Creek tributary, the lagoon plays a crucial role in water management and environmental protection in the Seneca County region. The dam's emergency action plan is periodically reviewed and updated to meet safety guidelines.
As a key infrastructure for wastewater treatment in the region, the Attica Wastewater Treatment Lagoon exemplifies the importance of sustainable water resource management in combating climate change. With its efficient design and regulated operation, this facility showcases the commitment of local authorities to safeguarding water quality and environmental integrity. Climate enthusiasts and water resource advocates can appreciate the essential role played by the lagoon in maintaining ecological balance and supporting community well-being.

Dam Data Reference
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.
