Summary

Built in 1964 by the Soil Conservation Service, USDA/NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 51 feet and has a length of 680 feet. With a storage capacity of 2000 acre-feet and a drainage area of 8.6 square miles, this structure serves as a vital component in managing floodwaters along the Mud River.

Managed by the Kentucky Division of Water, Mud River FRS No 14 is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure its functionality and safety. The dam is classified as having a low hazard potential and is assessed to be in fair condition as of the last inspection in March 2017. While the risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level, the structure is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway to manage excess water during heavy rainfall events. With its primary purpose being flood risk reduction, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential water-related disasters.

Located in the Nashville District and under state jurisdiction, Mud River FRS No 14 stands as a testament to effective water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Kentucky. With its historical significance and ongoing maintenance, this structure showcases the importance of investing in infrastructure to mitigate the impacts of climate change on local communities and water resources.

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.
