Abstract: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has prepared the following Final Dam Safety Modification Report (DSMR) and Environmental Assessment (EA) for Zoar Levee & Diversion Dam. Zoar Levee & Diversion Dam are located upstream of Dover Dam, in Tuscarawas County, Ohio on the Tuscarawas River. Zoar Levee & Diversion Dam is an appurtenant structure to Dover Dam. Zoar Levee & Diversion Dam was built in the 1930s to keep Zoar Village from having to be acquired for flowage easement to store flood waters behind Dover Dam. Zoar Levee & Diversion Dam has been assigned a Dam Safety Action Classification (DSAC) 3 – Moderate Urgency for action project because the potential consequences to a unique and valued historical site from a failure of the project are unacceptable and the probability of failure of the project indicates a moderate urgency for action. The Final DSMR documents the completion of a Dam Safety Modification Study (DSMS) to identify a risk management plan to reduce the unacceptable dam safety risks at Zoar Levee & Diversion Dam. The integrated EA documents the potential effects to the human environment that risk management alternatives may have, and how these potential effects were considered in identifying the risk management plan or the preferred action alternative (RMP/PAA).
