Summary

Constructed in 1966 by the Soil Conservation Service, USDA/NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 35 feet and spans 1000 feet, providing a storage capacity of 487 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 116 acre-feet, the dam covers a surface area of 17.1 acres and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction.

Managed by the Kentucky Division of Water, Mud River FRS No 32 has a low hazard potential and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of its last inspection in January 2017. The structure is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state agencies, ensuring its integrity and functionality in mitigating flood risks in the region. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam is equipped to handle potential emergencies and has emergency action plans in place, meeting state guidelines for risk management.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts can appreciate Mud River FRS No 32 as a vital infrastructure for flood risk reduction in Logan, Kentucky. With its strategic location, design, and maintenance, this earth dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events, highlighting the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions.

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.
