Dam 5-D Spillway Improvement

All Chippewa flood control dams are regulated by the State of Ohio – ODNR – Dam Safety. ODNR required the armoring of the grassed Auxillary Spillway, to ensure the Dam will safely pass the required storm event.

Dam Maintenance - Ongoing

For many years, it has been sufficient for the Eight Chippewa Dams to be mowed at least 3 times annually. With this year’s growing season and extra rainfall, we’ve adjusted to 4 mowings per year for most dams. Debris removal from trash racks occurs as needed.
