Sand Levee in 1937 under approval from the Public Works Administration in 1933. The Flood Control Act of 1939 authorized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the operation and maintenance for the 14 reservoir projects in the Muskingum River Basin in cooperation with the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. \n\nBeach City Dam is a high hazard dam located in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, on Sugar Creek, a tributary of the Tuscarawas River, 179.8 miles above the mouth of Muskingum River, and 1.5 miles southwest of Beach City, Ohio. Most dams that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages, if breached, would lead to loss of life and/or high economic impacts downstream causing them to be labeled \u201chigh hazard\u201d. Brewster Levee is located 5.5 miles to the northwest of the dam. Silica Sand Levee is located 4 miles to the southwest of the dam. The reservoir forms a conservation pool for flood control, recreation, fish and wildlife, and for maintenance of normal downstream flows during dry periods.\n\nThe earthen dam has a length of 5,600 feet and a height of 68.7 feet and controls a drainage area of 300 square miles. The embankment consists of two sections, the first of which is the main embankment and the second is the Terrace Dike section. In addition, two Dikes were installed (Dike #1 and Dike #2) to prevent reservoir rim overtopping. Two involuntary spillways are located adjacent to the primary spillway that would go into operation during extreme flood events to prevent the dam from overtopping. Between 1937 and 2022, the dam has prevented over $17.6 million dollars in flood damages, which means it prevents about $200K of flood damages per year.", "riskCharSummary":"The dam and levees significantly reduce the risk of flooding to surrounding communities. However, it does not entirely eliminate the risk. Although Beach City Dam, Brewster Levee, and Silica Sand Levee have historically performed well, extreme rain events may cause areas downstream and leveed areas to be flooded. Even when the dam and levees operate as intended, downstream flooding could still occur in a very large rainfall event. This event could require unusually large quantities of water to be released through the dam gates and emergency spillways. In extreme cases, this flooding could be similar to what was experienced prior to the dam\u2019s construction.\n\nThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed a risk assessment for Beach City Dam, Brewster Levee, and Silica Sand Levee in 2023 and classified the risk associated with failure as moderate. This risk categorization is based on the risk of rare storm events occurring which would cause more rainfall than the dam can store safely. During such an event, the spillways have the potential to pass over 61,000 cubic feet of water per second. The operation of the spillway would be necessary to prevent the dam from overtopping and potentially breaching.\n\nWhile the Beach City Dam spillway has never seen flow, if operated it could result in significant flooding in downstream communities from Dover, OH to New Philadelphia, OH. Depending on the amount of water released, significant damages to houses, buildings, factories, roads, bridges, power, gas, and water supply may occur. Critical infrastructure, including roadways (evacuation routes) and bridges along Sugar Creek, may not be passable due to high flood waters during spillway flows. \n\nWhile rare events like these have not occurred to date, if they were to happen, water is likely to reach hillside to hillside quickly and be more than tens of feet deep depending on the location. In the unlikely event Beach City Dam must pass these extreme waters, follow all directions from emergency officials, including evacuation orders. Failure to do so puts you and your family\u2019s lives at risk.", "riskManagementMeasures":"There are numerous activities that U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducts on a day-to-day basis to help manage risk at Beach City Dam, Brewster Levee, and Silica Sand Levee. The project is well maintained through continuous operations and maintenance activities, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducts detailed inspections of the dam and levees during both normal lake levels and during flood events. Supplementing these inspections, the dam has a specialized instrumentation and monitoring system to allow staff to continually evaluate the dam for changing conditions. Risk management and emergency response actions are being supported by conducting emergency exercises and dam safety training with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers staff and local and state emergency responders. Additionally, the dam\u2019s Emergency Action Plan is routinely updated to improve emergency response actions.", "riverName":"SUGAR CREEK OF TUSCARAWAS RVR", "separateStructuresCount":2, "sourceAgency":"US Army Corps of Engineers", "spillwayTypeId":3, "spillwayWidth":150, "stateFedId":"OH00005", "stateRegulatoryAgency":null, "stateRegulatedId":0, "structuralHeight":68, "submitDate":"2023-12-08T21:29:56.167Z", "surfaceArea":420, "volume":1075900, "widthOfLocks":0, "secondaryWidthOfLocks":null, "yearCompleted":1936, "congDist":"Congressional District 12, Ohio", "city":"BEACH CITY", "county":"Tuscarawas", "aiannh":null, "websiteUrl":"https://www.lrh.usace.army.mil/Missions/Civil-Works/Dam-Safety-Program/", "coreTypeIds":"3", "damTypeIds":"8", "fedConstructionIds":"1", "fedDesignIds":"1", "fedFundingIds":"1", "fedInspectionIds":"1", "fedOperationIds":"1", "fedOtherIds":"1", "fedOwnerIds":"1", "fedRegulatoryIds":"1", "formerNames":null, "foundationTypeIds":"3", "nonFederalDamOnFederalId":0, "designerNames":"CELRH", "otherNames":"Beach City Lake", "ownerNames":"USACE - Huntington District", "ownerTypeIds":"3", "primaryDamTypeId":8, "primaryOwnerTypeId":3, "primaryPurposeId":9, "purposeIds":"9;4;5", "dsacId":3, "femaRegion":"5", "lastEapExcerDate":"2025-04-17T12:00:00.000Z", "dataUpdated":"2025-04-17T12:00:00.000Z", "usaceDistrict":"Huntington District", "noConsequencesId":0, "secretaryAgricultureBuiltId":null, "nrcsWatershedAuthorizationId":null, "isAssociatedStructureId":"No", "fedRegulatedId":"Yes", "inundationNidAddedId":1, "damStatusId":2, "huc06":"050400", "doi_region":null, "doi_region_name":"Great Lakes", "doi_region_number":3 }, "id":521108, "links":[ { "type":"application/json", "rel":"root", "title":"The landing page of this server as JSON", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app?f=json" }, { "type":"text/html", "rel":"root", "title":"The landing page of this server as HTML", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app?f=html" }, { "rel":"self", "type":"application/geo+json", "title":"This document as JSON", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/521108?f=json" }, { "rel":"alternate", "type":"application/ld+json", "title":"This document as RDF (JSON-LD)", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/521108?f=jsonld" }, { "rel":"alternate", "type":"text/html", "title":"This document as HTML", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr/items/521108?f=html" }, { "rel":"collection", "type":"application/json", "title":"USACE Access2Water API", "href":"https://api.wwdh.internetofwater.app/collections/usace-edr" } ] }
