About Springer-sharon Site Ca-33-h-55-6
The primary purpose of Springer-sharon Site Ca-33-h-55-6 is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Fox Creek Township Board (local government). It impounds the Tr-thompson River near Chillicothe.
The dam stands 32 feet tall and stretches 320 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 2 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 23 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 96 square miles. Completed in 1977, the structure is 49 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
