Summary
Constructed in 1967 by the Soil Conservation Service, USDA/NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and spans a length of 900 feet. With a normal storage capacity of 222 acre-feet and a surface area of 51 acres, the dam serves primarily for recreation purposes along the Mud River.
Managed by the Kentucky Division of Water, Mud River Mps 33 has a low hazard potential and is deemed to be in satisfactory condition as of its last assessment in January 2017. Despite its moderate risk level, the dam has not been significantly modified over the years and is equipped with an uncontrolled spillway. While there are no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam undergoes regular inspections every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity and safety standards are upheld.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Mud River Mps 33 offers a glimpse into the intersection of recreational infrastructure and environmental stewardship. Situated within the Nashville District and overseen by local government authorities, this dam on the Mud River stands as a testament to responsible water management practices and the importance of maintaining sustainable structures for public benefit. With its historical significance dating back to the late 1960s, Mud River Mps 33 continues to provide a safe and enjoyable recreational space for the community while serving as a reminder of the critical role dams play in our water resource management systems.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
