Summary
Completed in 1967, this Earth dam plays a crucial role in flood risk reduction along the Mud River, with a dam height of 41 feet and a storage capacity of 2925 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, serving as a protective barrier for the surrounding area.
Managed by the KY Division of Water, Mud River FRS No 3 is regulated, permitted, and inspected by state authorities to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. With a condition assessment of 'Fair' and a hazard potential rated as 'Low', the dam presents a moderate risk level, prompting ongoing risk management measures. Despite its age, Mud River FRS No 3 continues to fulfill its intended function, safeguarding the local community against potential flooding events.
Located in Jerico, Kentucky, this dam is a testament to effective water resource management and climate adaptation efforts in the region. With its controlled spillway and moderate risk assessment, Mud River FRS No 3 stands as a reliable structure in the face of changing environmental conditions, demonstrating the importance of proactive infrastructure planning in safeguarding against water-related hazards.

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.
