Summary

This offstream lagoon, completed in 2012, serves a primary purpose that falls under the category of "Other." The dam, designed by Fanning Howey Engineering Group, is classified as an earth dam with a height of 17 feet and a length of 3160 feet. It has a storage capacity of 162 acre-feet and is regulated by the Department of Natural Resources in Ohio.

Despite being deemed to have a significant hazard potential, the condition assessment of Montezuma Club Island Wwt Lagoon Cell 4 is fair as of October 2019. Regular inspections are conducted every five years to ensure its safety and functionality. The dam has not undergone any modifications since its completion, and there are no emergency action plans or inundation maps prepared for this site. With a congressman representation by Jim Jordan (R), this lagoon plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region, highlighting the importance of monitoring and maintaining its structural integrity for long-term sustainability in the face of changing climate patterns.

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.
