Summary
Built in 1964 by the Soil Conservation Service and USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 58 feet and spans 550 feet, providing a storage capacity of 3,517 acre-feet and serving primarily for water supply purposes. The dam regulates the flow of the East Fork Pond River and covers a surface area of 30 acres, with a drainage area of 7.6 square miles.
With a significant hazard potential and a fair condition assessment as of March 2017, East Fork Pond River FRS No 1a is under the jurisdiction of the KY Division of Water and undergoes regular inspections. The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, and it has a moderate risk rating. While the dam meets regulatory standards and has not been modified in recent years, it is essential for stakeholders and climate enthusiasts to monitor any changes in risk management measures and emergency action plans to ensure the safety and sustainability of this critical water infrastructure in the region.

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.
